Background:  

 

The ECJ Grant Program was established by Clean Air Act (CAA) Section 138 as created under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The NOFO will include approximately $2 billion for grants to eligible entities for a wide range of projects that benefit underserved communities including Tribal and Alaskan Native Village areas. Eligible applicants for this grant program include community-based nonprofit organizations (CBOs), local governments or institutions of higher education who partner with CBOs, and Tribes in partnership with a community-based nonprofit organization per the IRA statute. The grants cannot exceed three years in duration, and funding must be awarded by September 30, 2026.
