The Community Change Grants (CCG) program will award funds to communities via projects that fit into one of two Tracks. Through Track II of the Community Change Grants (CCG) program, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will direct more than $40 million to help communities and governments build the capacity to identify, evaluate, and fix environmental and climate injustices by giving disadvantaged communities a meaningful voice in government decision-making processes.
The projects that fall into Track II, Meaningful Engagement for Equitable Governance, will facilitate the engagement of disadvantaged communities in governmental processes to advance environmental and climate justice. Awards under Track II are expected to be $1-3 million each and cannot exceed $3 million. EPA will award approximately $40 million for 20 Track II awards.
The EPA has contracted EnDyna as its Technical Assistance (TA) provider for the CCG program. EnDyna and its partners will provide communities with the necessary support, free of charge, to guide their projects from the idea stage to the submission of a grant proposal.
