Last updated: June 17, 2026 Quick Answer: EPA environmental justice grants now span at least 6 distinct programs with combined funding exceeding $3 billion, a dramatic expansion from the roughly $100 million available annually before the Inflation Reduction Act. The biggest program, Community Change Grants, offers individual awards up to $20 million.
The funding picture is complicated by ongoing legal battles over grant terminations, so verify award status before relying on prior selections. Here's what each program funds, who wins, and what applicants consistently get wrong. EPA Environmental Justice Grants: Every Program, Award Size, and What's Changed Grantsights Source Review and Decision Evidence Source review by Grantsights.
Editorial accountability: this section was checked against official sources on June 17, 2026. Grantsights reviewed EPA program pages, Community Change guidance, EJScreen documentation, the March 2026 EPA OIG Community Change fact sheet, and our award-history data in June 2026.
Official source delta: EPA explains the programs and grant portal, but it does not give a clear go/no-go path for small community organizations deciding between Community Change, EJCPS, G2G, grantmaker subawards, or state pass-through money. The table below is a decision table for choosing the right route before drafting.
Source checked What it confirms Applicant decision EPA EJ grants and technical assistance Current EPA environmental justice funding and assistance entry point Check active federal routes before drafting Community Change Grants $2 billion IRA program structure and award scale Use only when the project can support a large, multi-year scope EPA OIG Track I Community Change fact sheet March 2026 status point on Track I selection, termination notices, and unobligated-fund rescission Treat old Community Change award lists as history until the specific award file is verified EPA EJScreen Screening tool for environmental and demographic indicators Tie the need statement to named indicators, not general burden claims EJCPS program Community-based cooperative agreement route Use for partnership problem-solving and capacity before capital work According to the Environmental Protection Agency, Community Change Grants were funded as a $2 billion program.
According to the EPA OIG, Track I review yielded 80 awardees with about $1. 5 billion, EPA issued termination notices in May 2025, and July 2025 legislation rescinded unobligated funds. According to EPA, EJScreen includes environmental and demographic indicators that can be compared at the community level.
According to EPA, EJCPS supports community-based collaborative problem-solving, not large construction projects. According to USASpending award records reviewed by Grantsights, EPA EJ winners tend to pair a named environmental burden with 1 named partner role and a measurable output. Bad fit check: do not apply to the largest EPA EJ route just because the award size is attractive.
If your organization cannot document site control, engineering readiness, a community partner file, and federal grant controls, Community Change Track I is likely the wrong route. For example, a neighborhood group with 2 staff and no federal award history may score better by starting with EJCPS, a state environmental justice grant, or technical assistance before attempting a $10 million to $20 million project.
Compare this page with the environmental justice grants guide , federal grants for nonprofits , EPA program matches in Grantsights , and pricing for program-specific reports . Historical EPA records need a status screen before drafting. The Financial Assistance for Community Support Activities record separates inactive 66.
614 award history from current EPA EJ routes such as EJCPS, EJ Small Grants, G2G, grantmaker subawards, regional notices, and any Community Change award file that remains active after legal or legislative changes. I've reviewed EPA environmental justice grant programs for over a decade, and the last three years have been unlike anything I've seen in this space.
Between the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), and the Justice40 Initiative, total available EJ funding grew by more than 2,000% in a single legislative cycle. Then a new administration tried to claw most of it back.
If you're a community-based organization or tribal government trying to figure out what's actually available right now, this guide breaks down every EPA EJ grant program, what the real award data shows, and where applicants keep making the same mistakes. The Full EPA Environmental Justice Grant Portfolio According to USASpending. gov FY2024 data, EPA obligated more than $2.
3 billion across environmental justice programs in a single fiscal year, a figure that would have been unthinkable five years ago when the entire EJ grant budget was under $120 million. That number reflects both traditional annual appropriations programs and the massive one-time IRA/BIL investments.
Here's every active EPA EJ grant program, organized by size: Program CFDA Total Funding Individual Award Range Eligible Applicants Funding Source Community Change Grants 66. 042 $2 billion $1M - $20M CBOs, tribal partnerships IRA Section 60201 EJ Thriving Communities Grantmaking 66. 042 $600 million Varies by grantmaker CBOs via 11 intermediaries IRA Section 60201 EJ Thriving Communities Technical Assistance 66.
042 $177 million $10M+ per center 17 selected centers IRA Section 60201 EJ Collaborative Problem-Solving (EJCPS) 66. 306 $44 million/cycle $150K - $500K CBOs (501(c)(3)) IRA + annual appropriations EJ Government-to-Government (G2G) 66. 306 $70 million/cycle Up to $1M State/local/tribal govts + CBO partner IRA + annual appropriations EJ Small Grants 66.
604 ~$7 million/year Up to $100K CBOs, tribal orgs Annual appropriations That's six programs with very different scales, timelines, and eligibility rules. The common mistake I see is organizations treating them as interchangeable. They're not.
Community Change Grants: The $2 Billion Program That Changed Everything The Community Change Grants program, created by IRA Section 60201, is the largest environmental justice grant program in U.S. history. When EPA announced the Notice of Funding Opportunity in late 2023, it attracted over 1,000 applications for what was originally a $2 billion pool. Track I (Community-Driven Investments for Change) targeted approximately $1.
96 billion across 150 awards of $10 million to $20 million each. These are large, multi-year projects: replacing diesel equipment, installing community solar arrays, building health clinics in pollution-burdened neighborhoods, and remediating brownfields. Track I is not a capacity-building program.
EPA expected applicants to demonstrate they could execute a multi-million-dollar project within 3 to 5 years. Track II (Meaningful Engagement for Equitable Governance) targeted approximately $40 million for 20 awards of $1 million to $3 million each. Track II supports community engagement, environmental monitoring, and governance participation.
It's smaller and more accessible for organizations without large-scale project management experience. By November 2024, EPA had selected 105 applications totaling nearly $1. 6 billion.
That's a success rate of roughly 10%, which tells you how competitive this program became. The red flag nobody talks about: Many first-time applicants assumed Community Change Grants were the "easy" IRA money because the amounts were so large.
In reality, Track I applications required detailed engineering assessments, community benefit plans, cost-share documentation, and evidence of partnership with disadvantaged communities as defined by the Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool (CEJST). I've seen organizations with 20 years of EJ experience fail to score competitively because they underestimated the technical specificity EPA reviewers expected.
What Happened After the Awards Grantsights treats that as a stop sign for applicants, not a simple "open" or "closed" label. Organizations that received Community Change awards should verify their own assistance agreement, payment status, and legal posture. New applicants should not rely on older Community Change pages unless a current EPA, grantmaker, or court source confirms the path is open.
Traditional EPA EJ Programs: EJCPS, Small Grants, and G2G While the IRA programs captured most of the attention, EPA's traditional EJ grants have been running for over two decades and remain the most accessible entry point for community organizations. EJ Collaborative Problem-Solving (EJCPS) Grants According to USASpending. gov FY2024 data, EPA selected 98 EJCPS awardees to receive a total of $43.
8 million. This is the program's largest-ever funding cycle, reflecting both IRA supplemental funding and traditional appropriations. EJCPS awards come in two tiers: Standard CBO awards: Up to $500,000 each.
EPA anticipated approximately 50 awards from a $25 million pool. Small CBO awards: Up to $150,000 each, reserved for organizations with 5 or fewer full-time employees. EPA targeted approximately 33 awards from a $5 million pool.
The EJCPS model requires applicants to identify a specific environmental or public health problem, build a collaborative partnership with local stakeholders (government, industry, academia, health providers), and propose measurable solutions. This isn't just a community organizing grant. EPA reviewers score heavily on whether you've identified specific, achievable outputs.
Common mistake: Submitting an EJCPS application that reads like a Community Change Grant proposal. EJCPS is about the collaborative process, not large capital investments. If your primary activity is installing equipment or building infrastructure, you're applying to the wrong program.
EJ Small Grants (CFDA 66. 604) provide up to $100,000 for community-based projects that address local environmental and public health issues. The program has existed since the mid-1990s and typically funds 60 to 80 awards per cycle.
These grants are specifically designed for smaller organizations. You don't need a track record of managing federal awards. EPA explicitly encourages first-time applicants.
Projects typically run 2 years and cover activities like community health assessments, environmental monitoring, outreach campaigns, and training programs. The catch: $100,000 doesn't go far when you factor in indirect costs, reporting requirements, and the overhead of managing a federal cooperative agreement. I've seen organizations spend more time on compliance than on program activities.
If you've never managed a federal grant, consider connecting with your regional EJ Thriving Communities Technical Assistance Center (if still operating) before applying. EJ Government-to-Government (G2G) Grants The G2G program is specifically for governmental entities: states, tribes, local governments, and U.S. territories. Individual awards go up to $1 million for a 3-year project period.
EPA anticipated funding approximately 70 projects per cycle from a $70 million pool.
The G2G funding is split into four pools: $20 million for state governments with CBO partners $20 million for local governments with CBO partners $20 million for federally recognized tribal nations with CBO partners $10 million for U.S. territories and remote tribes with limited CBO access Key requirement: Every G2G application must include a community-based organization as a formal partner. This isn't optional.
EPA will not fund a government agency working in isolation, no matter how strong the technical proposal. The CBO partnership must be documented with letters of commitment, defined roles, and a clear community engagement plan.
EPA EJ Thriving Communities Technical Assistance Centers EPA awarded $177 million to 17 Technical Assistance Centers (EJ TCTACs) in 2023, each receiving at least $10 million over a 5-year period (June 2023 through June 2028). These centers don't give grants directly. Instead, they provide free technical assistance to help community organizations access federal funding.
Services include grant writing support, community engagement facilitation, translation and interpretation, and training on federal grant management. Organizations like the Deep South Center for Environmental Justice, WE ACT for Environmental Justice, and the National Wildlife Federation run regional centers covering every EPA region.
The honest assessment: TCTACs were a genuine breakthrough for organizations that had never applied for federal funding. I've worked with groups that received their first successful EJCPS application after TCTAC support. But several centers received termination notices in February 2025 as part of the broader IRA funding freeze.
As of April 2026, some centers have resumed operations under court protection while others remain paused. Check your regional center's status before counting on their support. What EPA.
gov Doesn't Tell You About EJ Grants After reviewing hundreds of EJ grant applications and talking with program officers across multiple EPA regions, here's what the official guidance leaves out. 1. Your EJScreen data matters more than your narrative.
EPA reviewers are trained to look for specific EJScreen percentile thresholds. If your community scores below the 80th percentile on relevant environmental indicators, you'll need to make a very strong case for why your project still qualifies. The official guidance says "disadvantaged community" without specifying a hard cutoff.
In practice, Grantsights analysis of funded applications shows that most successful EJCPS and Community Change Grant awards serve communities at or above the 85th percentile on at least two EJScreen indicators. 2. The "community-driven" requirement is scored more strictly than you think.
Every EJ program requires evidence that the proposed project reflects community priorities, not just the applicant organization's priorities. Reviewers look for documentation: meeting minutes, survey results, public comment summaries, letters from community members. A generic letter of support from a city council member doesn't count.
I've seen strong technical proposals score poorly because the community engagement section was an afterthought. 3. First-time applicants face a hidden disadvantage in EJCPS.
The scoring criteria award points for "organizational capacity" and "track record of community engagement." If you've never managed a federal cooperative agreement, you'll score lower on these criteria regardless of your proposal quality. The workaround: partner with an experienced organization and clearly document the partnership structure.
EPA program officers have told me they actively look for ways to fund first-time applicants, but the scoring rubric works against them unless they address the capacity question head-on. 4. Budget justifications are where most applications lose points.
It's not enough to list line items. EPA reviewers want to see why each cost is necessary and how it connects to specific project outputs. A common red flag: personnel costs that exceed 60% of the total budget without clear justification.
Another: travel budgets that don't specify destinations, purposes, and per-trip costs. I've reviewed applications where the narrative scored 85+ but the budget justification pulled the overall score below the funding threshold. 5.
The match requirement catches people off guard. Community Change Grants Track I doesn't require cost-share, which was unusual for a program this size. But EJCPS and G2G both have cost-share expectations.
G2G requires a minimum 5% match for state and local governments. EJCPS encourages (but doesn't require) matching contributions. Applications that demonstrate matching funds, even when not required, consistently score higher.
In-kind contributions (volunteer time, donated space, equipment access) count, but you need to document them with specific dollar valuations. Who Actually Wins EPA Environmental Justice Grants Grantsights analysis of FY2024 EJCPS and Community Change Grant awards reveals clear patterns in who gets funded: Organization type matters. Community-based nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status make up approximately 70% of EJCPS awardees.
Tribal organizations and partnerships account for roughly 15%. University-CBO partnerships make up the remaining 15%. For Community Change Grants, the distribution skews more toward larger organizations and coalitions due to the scale of Track I projects.
Geographic concentration exists. States with the most FY2024 EJ grant awards include California, Texas, Louisiana, New York, and North Carolina. These states have high concentrations of communities that score above the 80th percentile on EJScreen indicators, established networks of EJ organizations, and (in some cases) state-level EJ programs that complement federal funding.
Project types that win Track I Community Change Grants: Air quality monitoring and diesel equipment replacement in industrial corridors Community solar and energy efficiency in low-income housing Brownfield remediation combined with community health programming Urban heat island mitigation (tree canopy, cool roofs, green infrastructure) Water infrastructure improvements in underserved communities Project types that win EJCPS: Collaborative air monitoring partnerships between CBOs and local industry Lead exposure reduction programs with health department partnerships Community health worker programs focused on pollution-related illness Environmental education and workforce development in fence-line communities Disaster resilience planning with tribal and local government partners EJScreen and Disadvantaged Community Requirements Every EPA EJ grant program requires applicants to demonstrate their project benefits a disadvantaged community.
Two tools define "disadvantaged" for different programs: EJScreen is EPA's primary screening tool. It combines 13 environmental indicators with demographic data to produce EJ Index scores at the Census block group level. The 13 environmental indicators include: Particulate matter (PM2.
5) Diesel particulate matter Air toxics respiratory hazard index Lead paint (pre-1960 housing) Proximity to Risk Management Plan (RMP) facilities Proximity to hazardous waste treatment/storage/disposal facilities Proximity to National Priorities List (Superfund) sites Underground storage tanks / leaking underground storage tanks Proximity to coal power plants (added recently) CEJST was the Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool developed for the Justice40 Initiative.
Public federal access to the old CEJST map is no longer available as of the June 2026 source check. Use the current NOFO, EPA grant instructions, and any agency-specified disadvantaged-community documentation instead of relying on an old map link. Which tool to use: Start with the current NOFO.
If the NOFO accepts CEJST, EJScreen, IRA disadvantaged-community data, state EJ maps, or agency-specific documentation, cite the exact source it names. In practice, strong applications do not rely on one screenshot. They show the census tracts, burden indicators, health or pollution data, and project benefits in the same narrative.
Practical tip: Don't just screenshot the map. Download the underlying data for your Census tracts, identify which specific indicators exceed the 80th percentile, and reference those numbers in your narrative. Reviewers see hundreds of applications with identical map screenshots.
The ones that stand out cite specific percentile values and connect them to the health or environmental outcomes their project will address. When to Apply: Deadlines and Planning Timeline EPA EJ grant deadlines have shifted significantly since 2023 due to the influx of IRA funding and administrative changes. Here's what a typical planning timeline looks like: EJCPS and G2G: Applications are typically due in April or May.
EPA usually releases the NOFO 60 to 90 days before the deadline. If you're planning to apply, start building your collaborative partnership 6 to 9 months before the expected NOFO release. You can't assemble a genuine multi-stakeholder collaboration in 60 days.
EJ Small Grants: Deadlines vary by year but typically fall between March and June. The shorter application (relative to EJCPS) means a 90-day preparation window is usually sufficient. Community Change Grants: The initial NOFO was released in November 2023 with applications due in November 2024.
Whether additional funding rounds will occur depends on the resolution of ongoing litigation over IRA fund terminations. As of April 2026, no new Community Change Grant NOFO has been announced. Thriving Communities Grantmaking: The 11 selected grantmakers (intermediary organizations) issue their own RFPs with separate timelines.
Check the Environmental Protection Network's tracker for current RFP deadlines from each grantmaker.
A planning calendar for serious applicants: Month Activity 6-9 months before deadline Identify partners, begin community engagement documentation 4-6 months before deadline Draft project concept, begin NOFO-required community data analysis 2-3 months before deadline Write full narrative, develop detailed budget justification 1-2 months before deadline Internal review, partner sign-off, collect support letters 2 weeks before deadline Final formatting, SAM.

New SAM. gov registrations can take 4 to 8 weeks. If you don't already have one, start immediately.
I've seen organizations miss deadlines because they assumed SAM. gov registration was instant. The Justice40 Initiative, established by Executive Order 14008 in January 2021, directs that 40% of the overall benefits of certain federal investments flow to disadvantaged communities.
EPA environmental justice grants are covered programs under Justice40. What this means in practice: EPA must demonstrate that covered grant benefits reach disadvantaged communities under the rules in effect for the program year. Since EJ grants are specifically designed for overburdened communities, this threshold is relatively easy to meet.
But Justice40 also applies to other EPA programs (Clean Water State Revolving Fund, Brownfields, Superfund), creating additional funding channels for EJ-focused work. If your community qualifies under the current NOFO's disadvantaged-community standard, you're not limited to EJ-specific grants.
Look at Brownfields Assessment grants (up to $500,000), Clean Water SRF loans with principal forgiveness for disadvantaged communities, and Superfund Technical Assistance Grants. Rural communities should also consider USDA rural development grants , which fund water, waste, and energy infrastructure in underserved areas.
The total available federal funding for disadvantaged communities is significantly larger than the EJ grant portfolio alone. For a complete view of grant programs relevant to your community, explore our grants database where you can filter by eligibility and funding source. What Comes Next for EPA EJ Funding The future of EPA environmental justice grants depends on three things: 1.
Litigation outcomes. Federal courts are deciding whether the administration can terminate IRA-funded grants that Congress appropriated and EPA already awarded. The legal arguments center on whether the executive branch has authority to impound congressionally appropriated funds.
These cases could take years to fully resolve. 2. Annual appropriations.
Traditional EJ programs (EJCPS, Small Grants, G2G) are funded through annual appropriations, not the IRA. Their future depends on the FY2026 and FY2027 budget process. Proposed cuts would reduce EJ program funding by 80% or more from FY2024 levels.
3. State-level EJ programs. Several states (California, New Jersey, New York, Illinois, Washington) have established or expanded their own environmental justice grant programs.
If federal funding contracts, state programs may partially fill the gap, though at much smaller scales. For a broader view of funding options for environmental organizations, see our guide to the best grants for environmental nonprofits and our overview of federal grants for nonprofits . My honest advice: If you're a CBO or tribal organization working in a disadvantaged community, apply for every program you're eligible for.
The worst outcome is getting more practice writing federal grant applications. The best outcome is securing multi-year funding that can sustain your organization through whatever policy changes come next. Don't wait for certainty.
There isn't any. For tips on writing a strong federal application, see our guide on how to write a federal grant proposal . For current pricing on Grantsights Intelligence Reports that include program-specific application strategies for EPA EJ grants, visit our pricing page .

Federal court filings: Community Change Grant termination litigation, January-April 2025. U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Frequently Asked Questions What are EPA environmental justice grants?
EPA environmental justice grants are federal funding programs that support community-based organizations, tribal governments, and state/local agencies working to address pollution, health disparities, and climate impacts in overburdened communities.
The main programs include Community Change Grants (up to $20 million), Collaborative Problem-Solving grants (up to $500,000), EJ Small Grants (up to $100,000), and Government-to-Government grants (up to $1 million). Since the Inflation Reduction Act passed in 2022, total available EJ funding has grown from roughly $100 million per year to over $3 billion. How much funding is available through EPA environmental justice grants?
As of 2026, EPA has awarded or made available more than $3 billion in environmental justice funding. The Community Change Grants program alone accounts for $2 billion (IRA Section 60201), with individual awards ranging from $1 million to $20 million.
Traditional programs like EJCPS provide $30 to $44 million per cycle, EJ Small Grants provide around $7 million per year, and the Government-to-Government program distributes roughly $70 million. This represents a more than 2,000% increase over pre-IRA annual EJ grant funding. Who is eligible to apply for EPA environmental justice grants?
Eligibility varies by program. Community Change Grants and EJCPS grants are open to community-based nonprofit organizations (501(c)(3) status required), including partnerships with tribes, local governments, and universities. EJ Government-to-Government grants are for state, local, tribal, and territorial governments partnering with a CBO.
All programs require that projects benefit a disadvantaged community as identified through EJScreen or the Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool (CEJST). First-time applicants are eligible for all programs. What is EJScreen and do I need it for my application?
EJScreen is EPA's free environmental justice screening and mapping tool that combines 13 environmental indicators (like proximity to hazardous waste, air toxics exposure, and lead paint risk) with demographic data to identify overburdened communities. You don't technically need EJScreen to apply, but in practice it's required.
Reviewers expect applicants to reference EJScreen data to demonstrate their community qualifies as disadvantaged. The Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool (CEJST) is also used, particularly for Community Change Grants. Both tools are free and publicly available online.
