CT Environmental Justice Grant

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing a grant opportunity to support environmental justice initiatives in Connecticut. This funding will enable communities to develop and implement projects that address local environmental concerns, such as air and water pollution, waste management, and climate change. The EPA is committed to promoting environmental justice and ensuring that all communities, regardless of income, race, or ethnicity, have access to clean air, water, and land. Eligible projects may include, but are not limited to, community-based education and outreach programs, environmental health research studies, and sustainable infrastructure development. The EPA encourages applicants to incorporate innovative and collaborative approaches, such as community-based participatory research, green infrastructure, and environmental workforce development. By supporting these initiatives, the EPA aims to reduce environmental disparities, promote sustainability, and improve public health outcomes in Connecticut's most vulnerable communities. Key themes for this grant opportunity include environmental justice, community engagement, sustainability, and public health. The EPA expects to award multiple grants, ranging from $50,000 to $500,000, depending on the scope and complexity of the proposed projects.
