Environmental Justice Data Fund

The second round of grantmaking for the Environmental Justice Data Fund (EJDF) will be supported by a $4 million fund. The EJDF aims to help frontline communities historically underserved and disproportionately impacted by climate change and environmental injustice in the United States use data to address environmental hazards, with special attention to matters regarding air and water quality. The EJDF will support eligible organizations to unlock resources, increase their access to federal infrastructure funding, and advocate for new policies that empower communities to address past environmental harm and pave the way to a more sustainable, climate-resilient future.

Additional Information:
The fund aims to provide one-time flexible project support for data projects that: 1) range from building organizational capacity for data work to implementing research and data; 2) may involve research planning, scenario planning, data collection, data analysis, and/or data visualization, or other activities; 3) will use data work to mitigate past environmental harm and promote climate resilience (preference will be given to projects that work on air and water quality); and 4) serve communities that have been historically underserved and disproportionately impacted by climate change and environmental injustice, including Black, Latino/a/x/e, Indigenous, Tribal, Southern, rural, and low-income communities.
