THIS GRANT’S FOCUS: Environmental Justice, Environmental/Public Health, Community Projects, Northwest
Deadline: Dec. 15, 2024
“The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Grantmaking Program aims to make it easier for community-based organizations to access federal environmental justice funding. The program was created to respond to feedback from communities about the need to reduce barriers to federal funds and improve the efficiency of the awards process to ensure underinvested communities can access the grants.
Philanthropy Northwest, in partnership with an extensive network of regional partners across EPA Region 10 (Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, Washington and tribal communities), was selected as the Region 10 Grantmaker for the Thriving Communities Grantmaking Program. Philanthropy Northwest’s goals are to distribute resources to historically underinvested communities by leveraging powerful partnerships, facilitating participatory grantmaking and designing a simplified application process.
There are three types of grants that potential sub-awardees could apply for:
- Type 1 (Assessment Projects) for up to $150,000 (1-year project period): grants focused on gathering information, assessing and understanding the problem(s) before developing a plan. Applications open Jan. 1, 2025
- Type 2 (Planning Projects) for up to $250,000 (1- to 2-year project period): grants for those who already have a strong understanding of the local environmental and/or public health issues and are ready to formulate a community-wide plan to address those issues. Applications open Jan. 1, 2025
- Type 3 (Project Development) for up to $350,000 (2-year project period): grants for those who already have a strong understanding of the local environmental and/or public health issues, have already formulated a community-wide plan addressing those issues, and/or are now ready to develop the technical aspects of the project (i.e., implement the project on the ground).”
Applications are currently open for Type 3 grants only.
