Grants and Financial AssistanceSome of the most significant work accomplished in the realm of environmental protection is completed at the state and local level. To facilitate and support those efforts, the EPA provides financial assistance grants to qualified applicants on subjects ranging from solid waste to environmental education.
Grants are available to:
EPA-provided grants are sums of money awarded to finance a particular activity or facility in support of environmental protection. Generally, these grant awards do not need to be paid back. Federal agencies and other organizations sponsor grant programs for various reasons. Before developing a grant proposal, it is vitally important to understand the goals of the particular federal agency or private organization, and of the grant program itself. In allocating funds, grantmakers base their decisions on the applicant's ability to fit its proposed activities within the grantmaker's interest areas. An interactive grants writing tutorial is available to assist you in preparing your grant application. You may also wish to contact the person listed as an information contact in each grant description. Through the tutorial or these discussions, an applicant may find that in order for a particular project to be eligible for funding, the original project concept may need modification to meet the criteria of the grant program. Technical assistance is also available to communities impacted by hazardous waste sites under the Technical Outreach Services to Communities (TOSC) program. Who to Contact?Appropriate EPA staff are identified under each individual section, for each of the grant categories listed at left. |
