Webinars: Target Investment Areas - Community Change Grants EPA will hold a series of informational webinars on the $2 billion Community Change Grants (CCG) Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the five Target Investment Areas (TIA). Each webinar will last between 60-90 minutes and will cover similar content including what is in the NOFO, application requirements, eligible entities, eligible project activities, and other helpful information on the specific TIAs. While each session is geared towards a TIA, please join any webinar at your convenience. Question-and-answer portions will also be dedicated to questions from the audience. Please note that EPA cannot answer individualized questions specific to one application or comment on the merits of an application or an applicant's competition strategy.

Background Out of the $2 billion in funding, EPA has identified five Target Investment Areas (TIA) to help ensure that communities with unique circumstances, geography, and needs can equitably compete for funding. The amounts are estimates only and subject to change based on the number and quality of applications received, funding considerations, and agency priorities. Applicants interested in submitting an application for projects benefitting a TIA must identify this in their application.
