Charting, Navigating, and Building Funding Pathways for Midwest Communities
Unprecedented amounts of federal funds are being rolled out for climate action through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). This document examines how to leverage federal funds and use the grants process to implement priority climate projects in the Midwest.
