Community Change Grants Program

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis until November 21, 2024.
EPA is accepting applications on a rolling basis for Community Change Grants, $2 billion in Inflation Reduction Act funding available to support community-driven projects that build capacity for communities to tackle environmental and climate justice challenges, strengthen their climate resilience, and advance clean energy. Partnerships between community-based nonprofit organizations and partnerships between community-based nonprofit organizations and local governments are eligible to apply. These place-based investments will be focused on community-driven initiatives to be responsive to community and stakeholder input. They are designed for the communities most adversely and disproportionately impacted by climate change, legacy pollution, and historical disinvestments.
