Opportunity Summary:
The Environmental Justice Small Grants Program (EJSG) is a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) discretionary grant opportunity intended to support community-based projects that tackle local environmental and public health problems in communities experiencing disproportionate environmental burdens. The program focuses on helping affected communities better understand, document, and address exposure to multiple environmental harms and risks, especially where these issues overlap and compound one another. In practical terms, EJSG funding is meant to help residents and local organizations identify environmental hazards, build community knowledge and capacity, and carry out targeted efforts that reduce or respond to environmental health concerns at the neighborhood or community level.
