EPA Region 3 Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Grantmaking Meeting

Does your organization work on environmental concerns related to air or water quality, stormwater issues, improving food access, local cleanup projects, illegal dumping activities, healthy housing, toxin remediation, or other efforts to address environmental injustices in your community?

Are you looking for ways to fund your work that don’t require lengthy and complicated grant applications? Funding to support assessment and planning, as well as implementation?

If you answered YES to any of these questions, this event is for you!

The Green & Healthy Homes Initiative (GHHI) staff is hosting this community gathering to share information about GHHI’s EPA Region 3 Thriving Communities Grantmaking (TCGM) program on Tuesday, October 22nd, from 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm at the Pauli Murray Ste, Howard University School of Law. We hope you can join us!

This informational gathering is intended for community-based EJ leaders working in nonprofits, local government entities, tribal governments, Native American organizations, and public and private universities and colleges to obtain information and guidance about these important funding opportunities.

In August, GHHI’s TCGM program began accepting applications to fund more than 170 eligible EJ projects in historically disinvested communities throughout EPA’s Region 3 (includes Delaware, District of Columbia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, and 7 federally recognized tribes).
