The U.S. Environmental Protection is now accepting applications for its Environmental Justice Small Grants Program.  The deadline for applications is February 15.

Nonprofit groups are eligible for grants to support community-driven projects designed to engage, educate, and empower communities to better understand local environmental and public health issues and develop strategies for addressing those issues, building consensus in the community, and setting community priorities.

The EJSG program will award approximately $1.5 million nationwide for this competitive opportunity. EPA anticipates awarding approximately 50 grants (5 per EPA region) of up to $30,000 each. These grants are for one-year projects.
