Who is a member?
Our members are the local governments of Massachusetts and their elected and appointed leadership.
Municipalities are invited to apply for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Environmental Justice Grantmaking program, administered via local anchor program Transportation for Massachusetts.
The Environmental Justice program unlocks $50 million in grant funds over the course of three years to implement projects that address local environmental and public health issues.
As the Massachusetts anchor program, Transportation for Massachusetts will lead outreach efforts connecting potential program applicants with the Core Project Team and New England Thriving Community Technical Assistance. Transportation for Massachusetts, or T4MA, held an information session with partners to share this opportunity across the state.
Applications are being accepted on a rolling basis, with awards made quarterly until all funding is awarded.
The first round of applications is due on March 7 at 5 p.m. A second round of applications will be due by May 16 at 4 p.m.
Visit the T4MA website for more information and resources related to the grants. Grant applications, eligibility requirements, and deadlines are available at environmentaljusticenewengland.org/grants.
