Summary
This funding opportunity supports local initiatives focused on improving environmental and public health outcomes in underserved communities. Targeting regions across the United States, the grant is particularly suited for nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, academic institutions, and local public agencies. Priority is given to groups operating in areas historically affected by pollution, climate risk, or lack of equitable infrastructure investment.
The intent of this program is to build capacity at the community level through education, outreach, planning, and implementation projects that address issues such as water quality, stormwater infrastructure, food and water access, and exposure to environmental hazards. Funds may also support initiatives aimed at improving resilience to extreme weather events and fostering long-term sustainability in vulnerable populations.
Eligible applicants may apply under one of several tiers, depending on their goals—ranging from early-stage community engagement efforts to larger infrastructure projects. Funding amounts vary accordingly, with smaller awards supporting preliminary planning and larger grants aimed at direct implementation. This tiered structure enables organizations at different stages of readiness to participate meaningfully.
While the grant is available nationwide, it is administered through regional intermediaries aligned with federal priorities such as environmental justice and the Justice40 Initiative. Grant cycles are held annually, with some regions offering rolling deadlines into future years.
The opportunity presents a valuable pathway for grassroots and community-focused groups to enhance their capacity and advance equitable environmental outcomes through strategic, well-supported projects.
