Thursday, October 3rd 2024 from 11-1 PM ET virtually – Join ReImagine Appalachia and The Environmental Protection Network for an overview of a new funding opportunity.
The Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Grantmaking Program will issue thousands of subgrants to community-based nonprofit organizations and other eligible organizations representing disadvantaged communities. The program is intended to support capacity building in communities affected by environmental or public health issues.
Grantmakers are expected to begin opening competitions and awarding subgrants by fall 2024. Community-based nonprofit organizations and other eligible organizations will be able to apply for subgrants ranging from $75,000 to $350,000.
The Environmental Protection Network (EPN) is joining us to host this information session to learn more about the application process for this exciting funding opportunity. The first hour will focus on a formal presentation and ample time for questions and answers. The second hour will allow time for networking and conversation from groups in the region who are applying, or considering applying for this grant.
The Environmental Protection Network (EPN) is a 501(c)(3) and was launched in January 2017 to harness the expertise of former EPA career staff and political appointees to protect human health and the environment. EPN began its pro bono capacity-building technical assistance program in June of 2021 to help disadvantaged communities, community-serving NGOs, and under-resourced agencies navigate and understand government programs, data, and processes; gain access to partners, allies, and decision-makers; and apply for funding.
This event is part of the ReImagine Appalachia Grant of the Month Club Series, an ongoing series which aims to share information on a funding streams and resources that we believe are of particular interest to rural communities, communities facing energy transition or deindustrialization, historically disinvested communities, and/or Appalachian communities.
