Communities throughout the Great Lakes Region will receive an infusion of $40 million for environmental justice projects over the next few years, thanks to a new program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) . To reduce barriers to federal funding, the EPA has selected grantmakers across the nation to serve as intermediaries for this funding.
that will be administered regionally through a partnership among the RE-AMP Network, Midwest Environmental Justice Network, and NDN Collective and the Minneapolis Foundation. RE-AMP and its partners, the Midwest Environmental Justice Network, Minneapolis Foundation, and NDN Collective, have been chosen to administer the program in Region 5 of the EPA .
This program aims to strengthen the capacity of underserved communities to address the environmental and public health challenges they have historically faced, as well as current and future challenges.
While this grant program is open to all environmental justice communities in the Great Lakes region, RE-AMP’s role in the partnership focuses on outreach and education in rural and remote communities “ RE-AMP has done extensive work building capacity and funding efforts in rural Midwestern communities on clean energy, air and water quality, and energy efficiency.
We know that rural environmental justice issues are usually invisible and under-funded. This project provides an unparalleled opportunity to bring resources and attention to environmental injustices in rural communities. RE-AMP is honored to join this partnership and lead the outreach to rural and remote environmental justice communities in our region.
” said Melissa Gavin, CEO of the RE-AMP Network. Grant funding will be distributed with guidance from a Regional Community Advisory Committee, a group of environmental justice leaders reflecting the region’s diversity. The goal is to create a process that will center those most impacted by environmental injustice in the decision-making for this program.

On June 29, 2026, EPA announced it will waive the $25,000 WIFIA application fee and the credit processing fee — averaging roughly $156,000 per loan — for communities of 25,000 or fewer residents in fiscal years 2026 and 2027. Combined, that removes nearly $200,000 in upfront cost from the single most affordable federal water-infrastructure financing program, which carries roughly $11 billion in available capacity and can cover up to 80% of eligible project costs at Treasury-rate pricing. For small towns, rural utilities, and the nonprofits and districts that serve them, this is a rare instance of the federal government lowering the barrier to a program that has historically been out of reach for exactly the communities that need it most. Here is what changed, who qualifies, and how to move on a letter of interest before the window closes.
