Opportunity Summary:
The Environmental Justice Small Grants Program (EJSG) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that supports community-based projects focused on local environmental and public health concerns in communities that are affected by environmental harms. The program is built to help residents and local organizations better understand environmental risks in their area and take practical steps to reduce exposure, especially where multiple pollution sources or hazards overlap. In plain terms, it is aimed at helping communities identify what is happening in their environment, understand how it may be affecting health, and carry out on-the-ground efforts that address those problems at the local level.
This funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number EPA OECA OEJ 10 01) falls under the environment activity category and uses a standard grant as the funding instrument. The EPA anticipated making about 40 awards under this announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,000,000. Individual awards could be as large as $25,000 (the award ceiling). The opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which generally lowers the barrier to entry for smaller community groups that may not have access to additional funding to meet a match requirement.
The assistance listing tied to this opportunity is CFDA 66.604, Environmental Justice Small Grant Program. Eligibility is described broadly in the notice as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," with the formal eligibility requirements referenced in Section III of the full announcement. That wording typically signals that eligibility may include certain community-based organizations, nonprofits, tribal entities, or other local groups, but applicants would need to confirm the exact categories and any restrictions by reviewing the full solicitation text in the official announcement.
Key dates for this archived opportunity are as follows: it was posted and created on October 28, 2009, and it closed on January 8, 2010 (the original and current closing dates are the same). The archive date is February 7, 2010, meaning the announcement is no longer open for applications and is maintained for record purposes. The notice also indicates that applicants should refer to Section IV of the full announcement for submission methods and due dates, which suggests that the application process may have included specific formatting, delivery instructions, or required forms beyond the basic summary information.
For applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Sheila Lewis at the EPA, reachable at (202) 564-0152.
