Environmental Finance Centers | US EPA Environmental Finance Centers Environmental Finance Center Grant Program On November 4, 2022, EPA announced the selection of 29 Environmental Finance Centers (EFCs) that will help communities across the country access federal funding for infrastructure projects that improve public health and environmental protection.
The EFCs will deliver targeted technical assistance to local governments, states, Tribes, Territories, and non-governmental organizations to protect public health and safeguard the environment. Under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, the selected EFCs will help communities to access federal funding for water infrastructure improvements.
See EPA's News Release for details Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Insufficient water infrastructure threatens America’s security, and it risks people’s health, jobs, peace of mind, and future prosperity. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act delivers more than $50 billion to EPA to improve our nation’s drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure.
List of Environmental Finance Centers Many communities with significant pollution challenges and infrastructure needs have difficulty accessing federal funding and financing programs to address these concerns. Existing environmental gains can be preserved, and further progress achieved, when states, Tribes, and local governments, and non-governmental organizations have the resources to develop and maintain environmental projects.
Through the EFC grant program, technical assistance providers will help communities develop and submit project proposals, including State Revolving Fund (SRF) applications for Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act funding. EFCs will support communities with technical assistance to identify infrastructure solutions.
These entities will provide states, Tribes, and local governments with technical assistance services to advance health and environmental protections.

EPA's Innovative Water Infrastructure Workforce Development competition closes October 5, 2026. The agency says up to 15 awards across four project areas, but Project Area 1 alone carries a $7.8 million ceiling against a $10.8 million pot. That tension is the single most important strategic fact in the NOFO — here is how to read it, which lane is least competed, and what a three-week runway means for your submission.
