Environmental Grants - NCDOJ The Attorney General awards grants annually to projects that will help improve and protect North Carolina’s natural resources through the Environmental Enhancement Grant (EEG) program. Since the EEG Program began, the Attorney General has awarded more than $43 million to 228 projects.
These projects have resulted in the closure of 240 abandoned hog waste lagoons and the restoration or permanent conservation of more than 31,000 acres of land, wetland restoration, stormwater remediation, stream stabilization, as well as several environmental education and research initiatives.
In 2000, the Attorney General and Smithfield Foods entered into a 25-year agreement that, in part, provided $2 million per year for environmental projects across the state. This money was used to establish the EEG Program, which has awarded environmental grants since 2002. EEG awards range from $5,000 to $500,000 in grants for a three-year grant project.
These grants are only available to non-profit organizations, including academic institutions, and government entities. Eligible applicants can apply for funds for projects in the areas of land acquisitions, construction, remediation, restoration, planning, education, or research. EEG also fund small grant projects (awards of $50,000 or less) within these areas.
There is a preference for projects that address environmental harm and damage to overburdened and underserved communities as well as for projects in eastern North Carolina. The EEG Program offers reimbursement grants for projects that improve North Carolina’s air, water, and land quality by addressing the goals of the Smithfield Agreement.

The 205(j) Water Quality Planning Grants is a competitive grant program from the NC Department of Environmental Quality, funded by the U.S. EPA, that supports water quality management planning across North Carolina. Projects may involve identifying the nature and causes of water quality problems, developing EPA 9-Element Watershed Restoration Plans for USGS HUC units, mapping stormwater infrastructure, conducting engineering designs for stormwater best management practices, and assessing pollutant sources. Grants are exclusively available to regional Councils of Government (COGs), which may partner with public sector organizations. A match is preferred but not required. Funded projects may run up to 18 months, with funds disbursed on a quarterly reimbursement basis. The RFP is released annually in summer, with proposals due in fall. For 2025, the RFP opened July 25, 2025, with proposals due September 18, 2025.
On June 11, 2026, U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel ruled that the EPA's February 2025 termination of the $2.8 billion Environmental and Climate Justice Block Grant Program — created by Section 60201 of the Inflation Reduction Act — was arbitrary, capricious, and unlawful. The ruling voids the termination but does not order the EPA to resume the program, leaving the September 30, 2026 statutory deadline as the binding constraint. For the 116 grantees and the coalition of nonprofits, cities, and tribal partners that were already in award negotiations, the next 105 days will determine whether the program survives in any operational form or migrates entirely to the Court of Federal Claims as a damages action.
