Tribes Eligible for Environmental Justice Grant

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Environmental Justice announced the availability of $800,000 in funding for the Environmental Justice Small Grants Program for projects to assist low-income and minority communities to develop locally-based solutions to their sometimes disproportionate share of environmental and public health issues. EPA anticipates awarding one to four grants of up to $20,000 in each region under this funding opportunity (EPA-OECA-OEJ-08-01). Native American tribal governments, non-profits, cities, townships, and county governments are eligible applicants. Applications are due June 30.
