Applications for Environmental Community Grants |
EPA will award CARE cooperative agreements in two
levels. Level I awards range from $75,000 to $100,000 and will help establish
community-based partnerships to develop local environmental priorities. Level
II awards, ranging from $150,000 to $300,000 each, will support communities
that have established broad-based partnerships, have identified the priority
toxic risks in the community, and are prepared to measure results, implement
risk-reduction activities and become self-sustaining. |
Applications for the CARE grants are due March 9,
2010. EPA will conduct three Webcasts to answer questions from prospective
applicants about the application process on Feb. 2, 23, and 26 from 1:00 p.m.
to 3:00 p.m. More information about the grants: http://www.epa.gov/care/ |
EPA is making $2 million available in 2010 to
reduce pollution at the local level through the Community Action for a
Renewed Environment (CARE) program. CARE is a community-based program
that works with county and local governments, tribes, non-profit
organizations and universities to help the public understand and reduce toxic
risks from numerous sources. Since
2005, the grants have reached 68 communities in 34 states and territories. A
recent evaluation by the National Association of Public Administration (NAPA)
recognized the CARE program as a solid tested framework for engaging
communities and other stakeholders. |
