Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
The Great Lakes Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Grantmaking Program (TCGM) opened all grant competitions this month: Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has opened two new competitions to address solid waste under the Solid Waste Infrastructure for Recycling Grant Program (SWIFR): one for Political Subdivisions/Communities and one for Tribes and Intertribal Consortia.
Congratulations to the Lower Sioux Indian Community, C̣aƞṡayapi, who was selected as an awardee of the Environmental Protection Agency’s Climate Pollution Reduction Grant (CPRG) under the Tribal and territories competition!
The EPA has announced 25 selected CPRG applications to receive over $4.3 billion in grants and will announce the results of a separate competition for Tribes and territories later this summer. Five Tribes partnered closely with the Great Lakes TCTAC to complete their applications.
In November, 2023, President Biden announced approximately $2 billion in funding available to support community-driven projects that deploy clean energy, strengthen climate resilience, and build capacity for communities to tackle environmental and climate justice challenges.
The clean energy transition is well underway, as Prairie Rivers Network’s Amanda Pankau saw firsthand last week in Washington D.C.
Over the past two months the deadlines for both tracks of the Climate Pollution Reduction Grants (CPRG) passed. And now we’re in the waiting game, while applications are reviewed.
Funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Office of Brownfields and Land Revitalization (OBLR) has opened up another round of its Brownfields Job Training Grants program.
The EPA Clean School Bus Program recently opened up its newest grant program, the Clean Heavy-Duty Vehicles (CHDV) grant.
The previous Clean School Bus (CSB) Grant Program opened on April 24, 2023 and closed on August 22, 2023. The TCTAC anticipates a grant cycle with similar dates this year.
