About CPRG Implementation Grants

In 2023-2024, EPA held  two competitions for the CPRG implementation grants – a general competition for applications from states, municipalities, Tribes, Tribal consortia, and territories, and a competition only for Tribes, Tribal consortia, and territories. These competitions were  open to entities that received planning grants to develop Priority Climate Action Plans (PCAPs) under phase 1 of the CPRG program, as well as entities that did not directly receive a planning grant that are applying for funds to implement measures included in an applicable PCAP. Eligible applicants could only apply for funding to implement measures contained in an applicable PCAP.

EPA announced selections in the general competition on July 22, 2024 and the selections for the Tribes and territories on September 5, 2024.

These competitions are now closed. Information about who could apply to these competitions and the application process is below.
