Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Grantmaking Program
EPA has selected Environmental Justice for New England to serve as pass-through entity for the Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Grants for CT, ME, MA, NH, RI, and VT. Thriving Communities subgrants will be distributed to support capacity building in communities affected by environmental or public health issues to eligible applicants. The program aims to reduce the burden of the federal grants application process and distribute federal funds to potential applicants working to address environmental justice issues.
Tier 1 will consist of grants for $150,000 for assessment (one-year project period), Tier 2 will consist of grants for $250,000 for planning (1-2 year project period), and Tier 3 will consist of grants for $350,000 for project development (two-year project period). Preference will be given to projects in which the majority of the funds are going to capacity-limited organizations and groups. Additionally, noncompetitive awards, or "Seed Funds" will be made to capacity-constrained communities and CBOs in a fixed amount of $75,000 each.

Thriving Communities Grantmaker Program
EPA has selected Fordham University to serve as pass-through entity for the Thriving Communities Grants for New York, New Jersey, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands. Thriving Communities subgrants will be distributed to support capacity building in communities affected by environmental or public health issues to eligible applicants. Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis until March 31, 2025.
Grants are available for funding in the following phases: Phase I = Assessment projects for up to $150,000 for a one-year project period Phase II = Planning projects for up to $250,000 for a 1-2 year project period, and Phase III = Project Development projects for up to $350,000 for a two-year project period. $150,000 awards may be made to organizations that offer a plan for engagement, capacity building, or assessment but do not provide a fully itemized budget (fixed amount awards). $250,000 and $350,000 awards must provide an itemized budget as well as a timeline for spending. Preference will be given to projects in which the majority of the funds are going to capacity-limited organizations and groups. Additionally, noncompetitive awards will be made to capacity-constrained communities and CBOs without the submission of an application to the competitive review process. These noncompetitive small subawards will be made in a fixed amount of $75,000 each, designed for ease of access, with a streamlined process that does not require participation in the competitive review process. Awardees will be selected through a participatory process, with fewer reporting requirements compared to competitive grants. Any person or organization in Region 2 may submit a nomination, including self-nominations.

Clean Ports Program: Climate and Air Quality Planning Competition
The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 provides EPA with $3 billion to fund zero-emission port equipment and infrastructure as well as climate and air quality planning at U.S. ports. This new funding program will build on EPA’s Ports Initiative that helps our nation’s ports, a critical part of our infrastructure and supply chain, address public health and environmental impacts on surrounding communities. EPA has announced two separate Notices of Funding Opportunities to disburse the allocated $3 billion – the Zero-Emission Technology Deployment Competition AND the Climate and Air Quality Planning Competition.
The Climate and Air Quality Planning Competition is poised to fund climate and air quality planning activities at U.S. ports; including emissions inventories, strategy analysis, community engagement, and resiliency measure identification, all of which will build the capacity of port stakeholders to continue to reduce pollution and transition to zero-emissions operations over time.

Nationwide Fishing Trap Removal, Assessment, and Prevention (TRAP) Program
The Virginia Institute of Marine Science, in partnership with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Marine Debris Program, is soliciting proposals under their Nationwide Fishing Trap Removal, Assessment, and Prevention (TRAP) Program.
Using funding from the NOAA Marine Debris Program provided by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the Virginia Institute of Marine Science will award up to $1,475,000 in grants to remove derelict fishing traps throughout coastal waterways of the United States while collecting data to prevent future gear loss.
The program priorities for this solicitation are the detection and removal of derelict fishing traps and the collection of standardized data associated with the removed traps. Derelict fishing traps are passive cage-style gear that are lost, abandoned, discarded, or otherwise no longer under control of a commercial or recreational fisher. This program does not focus on other types of derelict gear, such as lost nets and lines. Priority will be given to projects that provide ecological and/or economic benefits; integrate innovative, sustainable approaches to derelict fishing trap disposal; and take place in sanctuaries, reserves, tribal or Indigenous community fishing grounds, or other protected areas.
