EPA Grant
EPA Region 2, Thriving Communities program being administered by Fordham University. Several faculty participated in development sessions with the program’s co-lead Dr. Julie Gafney this past Spring. This program will provide awards, “to help uplift disadvantaged and hard-to-reach communities” in the region (NY, NJ, PR, VI) and will range from $75k - $350k. A priority will be placed on projects that leverage community-driven projects. Projects related to Assessments, Capacity Building, and Shovel Ready projects will be considered.
Per Dr. Gafney’s recommendation if you are thinking about a larger-scale project, you may wish to consider application early in the process as the window for completion will be three years from the launch of the RFP.
