Climate United NEXT Program Climate United NEXT Program Helping deploy the next generation of community clean energy projects Rural, tribal, and low-income communities are most in need of climate solutions that deliver energy independence and resiliency, lower costs, reduce pollution, and improve public health.
Thanks to the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, we have an unprecedented opportunity to unlock access to capital for clean energy projects in underserved communities; but many of them need pre-development funds, support, and technical assistance to access project capital.
That’s why we’re launching Climate United NEXT, a pre-development grant program to help nonprofit organizations, state and local governments, Indian tribes, and Institutions of Higher Education (IHE) accelerate early-stage clean energy projects through planning to project financing.
Through grant funding for planning, technical assistance, and community engagement, communities will identify solutions that meet their unique needs and lay the groundwork for projects including solar, green buildings, and electric transportation. Help communities successfully deploy projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, reduce pollution, and lower energy costs.
Increase the capacity of community-based organizations so that they can access federal and state financial assistance and other forms of capital for climate projects. Build demand and help transform the market for community-benefitting zero emission technologies in LIDACs across the country. Provide equitable access to clean technologies for underserved communities and geographies, such as rural and Native communities.
Climate United has ambitious goals of ensuring that 60% of its financial assistance is deployed in what the EPA has defined as Low Income and Disadvantaged Communities , 20% in rural communities, and 10% in Native communities. Climate United NEXT will provide pre-development grant funding to all of these communities in the coming months and years.
Feasibility & environmental impact studies Related pre-development activities Pre-development grants of up to $300,000 will be awarded over the course of multiple application rounds. The first round of Climate United NEXT grants will support clean energy projects that directly serve Native communities.
Eligible recipients include non-profit organizations, state and local government entities, Indian tribes, and Institutions of Higher Education (IHE). Climate United will solicit applications for funding in each cycle by sector. We are starting this Fall with projects focused on benefiting Native communities.
In 2025, we will have additional rounds focused on other underserved market segments. We intend to provide up to $30M in grant funding over the next five years to equip small- and mid-sized organizations to unlock public and private capital for climate projects. Thank you!
