Goals
The Foundation have developed the grant program with the following goals:
- To empower and encourage students to become involved in solving environmental and social problems
- To promote thoughtful and appropriate analysis and understanding of the natural world
- To train students as informed decision makers through the emphasis and application of basic ecological principles.
Funding Information
The Foundation give grants of up to $1500. If the MGAEF contribution will be part of a larger requirement, include the total budget of the project indicating what the funds will support. If your total budget exceeds $1500, as many projects do, it is important to:

- Give an honest appraisal of whether the project can succeed without these additional funds but with the $1500 grant.

- Show a holistic approach
- Strive to synthesize multiple levels of learning (facts, concepts, principles)
- Include experiential integrated learning and problem solving
