15 $100K Grants Available for Community Based Environmental/Health Projects

EPA’s Office of Environmental Justice (OEJ) has created an exciting new
grant program called the "Environmental Justice Collaborative Problem
Solving Grant Program."

(Thanks to Tod Kasten of the Eastern Montana Listserve for passing this along- Russ)

The grant program provides financial assistance to community-based
organizations who wish to engage in capacity-building initiatives, and
also utilize constructive engagement and collaborative problem-solving
to seek viable solutions for their community’s environmental and/or
public health issues.

Only non-profit, 501(c)(3) organizations are eligible to apply. If an
organization does not already have the 501(c)(3) status, they need to
obtain it before submitting a grant application (see information below).
The grants are due September 30, 2003, and will be awarded at $100,000,
for a project period of up to three years.

Attached are PDF versions of the Request for Applications (RFA),
Frequently Asked Questions, and the Fact Sheet for the new Collaborative
Problem-Solving Grant Program. This information and other info
resources are also available online at:
