• U.S. Environmental Protection Agency: Community Change Grants Program

·    Summary: EPA’s new Environmental and Climate Justice Community Change Grants program (Community Change Grants) has announced a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for approximately $2 billion dollars from the Inflation Reduction Act to benefit disadvantaged communities through projects that reduce pollution, increase community climate resilience, and build community capacity to address environmental and climate justice challenges. These place-based investments will be focused on community-driven initiatives to be responsive to community and stakeholder input. They are designed to deliver on the transformative potential of the Inflation Reduction Act for communities most adversely and disproportionately impacted by climate change, legacy pollution, and historical disinvestments. On August 6, 2024, EPA’s Office of Environmental Justice and External Civil Rights published an updated version of the NOFO for the Community Change Grants Program. This new version, known as Modification No. 3, replaces the previous versions of the NOFO.
