The Environmental Justice Small Grants (EJSG) Program provides funding directly to community-based organizations and tribes for projects that help residents of underserved communities understand and address local environmental and public health issues. The term “underserved community” refers to a community with environmental justice concerns and/or vulnerable populations, including people of color, low income, rural, tribal, indigenous, and homeless populations. The long-term goals of the program are to support underserved communities in their efforts to build their overall capacity and create self-sustaining, community-based partnerships that will improve local environments in the future. In 2021, 99 organizations nationwide were selected to receive awards totaling approximately $7.4 million in grant funding. Individual grants are for up to $75,000 each for one-year projects. These grants will benefit communities in 37 different states, as well as Washington DC and Puerto Rico.
