The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is making available recordings of four webinars on $16 million in pollution prevention (P2) grant funding opportunities for potential applicants and interested stakeholders. The webinar recordings cover general information about P2 and the grant application process.
The two grant opportunities will fund state and Tribal programs to help businesses adopt pollution prevention practices to advance environmental justice:
- P2 Grant: Environmental Justice in Communities will support technical assistance for businesses to target and improve human health and the environment in disadvantaged communities. Applications are due by June 6, 2023.
- P2 Grant: Environmental Justice Through Safer and More Sustainable Products will support technical assistance to businesses to improve human health and the environment in disadvantaged communities by increasing the supply, demand and use of safer and more sustainable products, such as those that are certified by EPA’s Safer Choice program, or those that conform to EPA’s Recommendations for Specifications, Standards and Ecolabels for Federal Purchasing. Applications are due by June 20, 2023.
EPA encourages applicants to partner with other P2 stakeholders and community organizations. The new P2 Grant Partners Connection List will include information about a range of potential P2 partners. Sign up by April 21, 2023, to add yourself or your organization to the list.
More tools and resources are available online including additional webinar recordings, writing guidance, helpful templates and a networking tool.
