About environmental justice grants in California
Environmental justice grants support communities that face disproportionate environmental and public health burdens, funding work such as community organizing, monitoring, planning, and local remediation. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has historically run programs including Environmental Justice Small Grants and the Government-to-Government program. Community-based nonprofits, tribes, and local governments are typical applicants, often working in partnership.

Frequently Asked Questions
What grants are available for environmental justice work?
Funding supports community-led projects addressing pollution, public health, and equitable access to a healthy environment, including assessment, planning, education, and on-the-ground solutions. The EPA has been the primary federal source through programs like its Environmental Justice Small Grants and collaborative problem-solving agreements. Note that federal environmental justice programs can shift with administrations, so verify current availability before applying.
Does the EPA fund environmental justice projects?
The EPA has run several environmental justice grant programs, including Environmental Justice Small Grants and the Government-to-Government program that funds governments partnering with community-based organizations. Program funding levels and availability have varied over time, so it is important to check the EPA's current solicitations rather than assuming a program is open.
Who else funds environmental justice nonprofits?
Beyond federal sources, many private and community foundations fund environmental justice and frontline community work, sometimes through pooled funds or regrant intermediaries. State environmental agencies and larger nonprofits also occasionally subgrant to community groups. Building relationships with regional funders can be especially valuable for smaller, community-based organizations.
