See the 2023 Education program project summaries . The Trust has all its contestable grants programs independently evaluated to assess their effectiveness. The University of Technology Sydney (UTS) – Institute for Public Policy and Governance and Institute for Sustainable Futures recently evaluated the Trust’s Environmental education program.
The evaluation examined how the program was delivered, and the projects it funded, from 2010–16. UTS completed its work in April 2018 and then presented its final report (PDF 3. 6MB) .
The Trust considered and accepted the report in October 2018. The evaluation concluded that the program was well run and filled a critical niche in the environmental education space; however, it also recommended changes to: program design, operating and policy context program governance and customer experience. These recommendations are progressively being incorporated into the program by the Environmental Trust.
The Trust developed an administrative response (PDF 356KB) to address these issues. Information for successful applicants Updated 22 September 2025

On June 11, 2026, U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel ruled that the EPA's February 2025 termination of the $2.8 billion Environmental and Climate Justice Block Grant Program — created by Section 60201 of the Inflation Reduction Act — was arbitrary, capricious, and unlawful. The ruling voids the termination but does not order the EPA to resume the program, leaving the September 30, 2026 statutory deadline as the binding constraint. For the 116 grantees and the coalition of nonprofits, cities, and tribal partners that were already in award negotiations, the next 105 days will determine whether the program survives in any operational form or migrates entirely to the Court of Federal Claims as a damages action.
