The US Environmental Protection Agency has announced a call for applications for its Environmental Justice Small Grants Program.
The program funds eligible community-based organizations to support projects that address a community's exposure to multiple environmental harms and risks. To be eligible to receive financial assistance, community-based organizations must be non-governmental, not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organizations located in the affected community.
The focus for this year's program is collaborative partnerships. Each
applicant must demonstrate collaboration between local community- based organizations and others (industry, federal, state and local governments, academia, and environmental organizations) to realize their project goals and objectives.
This program will fund two kinds of projects: Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA research) and multi-media.
*CERCLA (hazardous substance research only)
Recipients of CERCLA research grants must implement projects that are
specifically research oriented and specific to hazardous substances.
*Multi-media (research or other activities as allowed by statute)
These projects must address pollution in more than one environmental
medium (e.g., land, air, water).
