EPA Region 2 administers a variety of grant programs that serve communities. These grant programs are administered out of different offices, both at Headquarters and the Regional office. In the fall of 1995, Region 2 initiated the Community Grants Program (CGP) Workgroup in order to ensure that the programs have a well coordinated approach. The Workgroup began to look at ways to assist stakeholders/potential grant applicants (e.g., states, local, and tribal governments, private non-profit organizations, and small communities) in accessing the array of EPA grants available to them and make recommendations which would allow the Region to better address community needs.
Region 2 has put together a Fact Sheet depicting those Community Grants
offered for community/stakeholder participation.
