2019 Environmental Justice Fund
Posted: 7/31/2019 (Funding)
The Environmental Justice Fund is a grant opportunity for community-led projects that improve environmental conditions, respond to impacts of climate change and get us closer to achieving environmental justice. Created in 2017, the Fund is overseen by the Environmental Justice Committee, people with deep community roots working closely with communities on environmental justice issues.
Environmental hazards and climate change affect everyone, but communities of color, immigrants, refugees and Native people experience more significant harms because of where they live and work. We know that the most effective environmental and climate solutions come from the community itself. This Fund provides grants for projects where community members are in positions of leadership, where their lived experience is honored, where their knowledge influences the work, and where they meaningfully participate in project design and implementation.
There is $200,000 available to fund projects in 2019 and the application deadline is Monday, September 16, 4 pm. If you have any questions or need assistance, email ejfrfp@gmail.com
Deadline: 09/16/2019
