FY2010 "Community Action For A Renewed Environment (CARE) RFP" (51pp, 177k)
RFP# EPA-OAR-IO-10-04 - Closing Date: March 9, 2010
SUMMARY: This request for proposals (RFP) announces the availability of funds and solicits from eligible entities project proposals to receive financial assistance through the Community Action for a Renewed Environment (CARE) grant program. CARE is a unique community-based, community-driven, multimedia demonstration program designed to help communities understand and reduce risks due to toxic pollutants and environmental concerns from all sources.
The CARE grant program works with the eligible entities to help their communities form collaborative partnerships, develop an understanding of the many local sources of toxic pollutants and environmental risks, set priorities, and identify and carry out projects to reduce risks through collaborative action at the local level. CARE’s long-term goal is to help communities build self-sustaining, community-based partnerships that will continue to improve human health and local environments into the future.
The objective of the CARE grant program is to work collaboratively within the community to investigate the effectiveness of the CARE 4-step process (as described in the CARE brochure) which fosters a cross-Agency, multi-media approach to provide greater environmental benefits rather than either non-collaborative or traditional regulatory single media approaches.
