Captain Planet Foundation
Project-based environmental learning strategies that bring education to life
The Captain Planet Foundation works collaboratively to engage and empower young people to be ChangeMakers for the planet. For 30 years, we have been activating generations of environmentally literate citizens empowered to protect and sustain the natural systems upon which all life depends. CPF is both a grant-making foundation and a programmatic foundation. Through its small grant program, it has funded over 2,700 hands-on environmental education projects with schools and non-profits that serve children in all 50 U.S. states and in 35 countries internationally. More than 1.6 million children have directly participated in and benefited from these educational projects. In addition to providing small grants, CPF operates the following programs: Project Learning Garden (providing schools with onsite learning laboratories and healthy food access); Project Hero (a web-based and project-based learning platform for students to save locally threatened species & ecosystems); and Changemakers.
