EPA's Environmental and Climate Justice Community Change (Community Change Grants) provides funding for financial and technical assistance to carry out environmental and climate justice activities to benefit underserved and overburdened communities through projects that reduce pollution, increase community climate resilience, and build community capacity to address environmental and climate justice challenges. These place-based investments will be focused on community-driven initiatives to be responsive to community and stakeholder input. They are designed to deliver on the transformative potential of the Inflation Reduction Act for communities most adversely and disproportionately impacted by climate change, legacy pollution, and historical disinvestments. Awards will be between $10-20 million for multi-faceted projects addressing a range of pollution, climate change, and other priority issues. A limited number of smaller awards between $1-3 million will be awarded for projects focused on facilitating the engagement of disadvantages communities in governmental processes.
