Funding Alert: EPA Grant $$ to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions
This late-breaking item, from the latest issue of Grants Action News: Though the deadline is very close, community leaders and county planners will want to take note that the Environmental Protection Agency is making local grants available for projects designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Environmental Protection Agency
This grant program, offered by the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), is intended to advance clean energy programming and policies through cost-effective strategies. The EPA through the Climate Protection Partnerships Division (CPPD) is committed to reducing greenhouse gases through energy-efficiency, clean energy and corporate greenhouse gas management by employing cost-effective partnerships with industries in all appropriate sectors of our economy. The outcomes for projects supported by this grant may be environmental, behavioral, health-related, or programmatic in nature, but must be quantitative. They may not necessarily be achievable within an assistance agreement funding period. Projects to be funded under this announcement are expected to support outcomes including a reduction in emissions of greenhouse gases by creating a lasting change in the market for energy efficient products, services, and/or best practices.
ELIGIBILITY: State governments, county, city and/or township governments, public and state controlled institutions of higher education, Native American tribal governments (Federally recognized), nonprofits having a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education.
FUNDING: The total estimated funding for this competitive opportunity is approximately $6,000,000. The EPA anticipates awarding 1-10 grants, ranging in annual value from $40,000 to $90,000. Additionally, the EPA anticipates awarding 4-10 cooperative agreements, ranging in annual value from $100,000 to $250,000.
