Implementation and funding of projects focused on non-formal environmental education

Environmental protection is a fundamental process that requires urgent changes in people's behavior. On this basis, environmental education is currently one of the actual areas of education and the funding of these activities is an extremely important area in this process. One of the possibilities is the Green Education Fund, which supports the development of environmental education, upbringing and awareness in the Slovak Republic. The paper is focused on the evaluation of the Green Education Fund as the funding opportunity for environmental education in Slovakia. Based on the available data, which include the first two calls of the Green Education Fund, we evaluated data on applicants for support from this fund, the amount of financial contribution, location of selected projects, supported and rejected projects and evaluated the course of the first two calls of this fund.
