The Environmental Protection Agency’s Environmental
Justice Small Grants Program supports and empowers communities working on
solutions to local environmental and public health issues.
Last year, 16 projects were funded that focused on addressing climate equity, energy efficiency, renewable
energy, local green economy, and green jobs capacity. in 2010, the Connecticut Coalition for Environmental Justice received a grant for the “Hartford Recycles” project to educate 900 residents on how to recycle, to protect local air quality by reducing the amount of trash burned at the city’s incinerator.
The program assists recipients in building collaborative partnerships to help them understand and address environmental and public health issues in their communities. Successful collaborative partnerships involve not only well-designed strategic plans to build, maintain and sustain the partnerships, but also working towards addressing the local environmental and public health issues.
Deadline: January 7, 2013
