First Deadline: March 7, 2025
Total Funding: $48M across New England
Grants: 4 tiers, $75K – $350K
Environmental Justice for New England will distribute $48 million of grant funds to be fully expended by the spring of 2027. The initiative will distribute grants among the federally-recognized and state-recognized Tribal Nations of EPA Region 1 and the six New England states: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. The funds will be distributed through three tiers and the Seed Fund to support capacity-constrained organizations. Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis, with quarterly reviews, until all the funding is awarded.
“The program seeks to counter historical disinvestment in communities on the frontlines of the climate crisis including communities of color, immigrant communities, indigenous communities, and low-income communities. This opportunity seeks to seed and build deeper capacity for a sustainable environmental justice movement to address environmental hazards, climate resiliency, and energy justice, and build livable and healthy communities.”
“The funds will support organizations implementing projects to address local environmental and public health challenges across the region.”
