Applications Due For EPA Environmental Community Grants

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is making $2 million available in 2010 to reduce pollution at the local level through the Community Action for a Renewed Environment Program.

Applications are due March 9.

This competitive grant program gives local communities a way to take action to reduce the toxic pollutants they face and the funding to address these risks.

EPA will conduct three Webcasts to answer questions from prospective applicants about the application process on February 2, 23, and 26 from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.

CARE cooperative agreements are awarded at two levels. Level I awards range from $75,000 to $100,000, and Level II awards, range from $150,000 to $300,000 each.
