Environmental Justice Government-to-Government Program

EPA is soliciting applications for projects that transform overburdened and underserved communities into healthy, thriving communities capable of addressing the environmental and public health challenges they have historically faced, as well as current and future challenges. Applications must show successful partnerships with community-based nonprofit organizations (CBOs) and other stakeholders (e.g., local businesses and industry, medical service providers, academia, etc.) to develop solutions that will significantly address disproportionate environmental and public health harms related to pollution and climate change at the state and local level.

Eligible entities include:

• A state in partnership with a community-based nonprofit organization
• A Tribe in partnership with a community-based nonprofit organization
• A local government in partnership with a community-based nonprofit organization
• US Territories, Freely Associated States, and tribal governments in remote areas

If your organization is NOT eligible, we encourage you to partner with other eligible entities on a EJG2G project.
