GRANTS & FUNDING SOURCES
- Community Change Grants – updates
- Rolling deadline: Nov. 21, 2024 – Apply ASAP!
- Out of the approximate $2 billion in funding, EPA has identified five Target Investment Areas (TIA) listed below to help ensure that communities with unique circumstances, geography, and needs can equitably compete for funding. The amounts are estimates only and subject to change based on the number and quality of applications received, funding considerations, and agency priorities. Applicants interested in submitting an application for projects benefiting a TIA must identify this in their application.
- TIA A: Tribes in Alaska;
- TIA B: Tribes in the Continental United States;
- TIA C: Territories;
- TIA D: Disadvantaged Unincorporated Communities;
- TIA E: United States (U.S). – Southern Border Communities
- NOTE: If your community / project for CCG does not fall under one of these target investment areas but does instead qualify under the program’s general geographic eligibility requirements, you are still encouraged to apply!
