Note: This is a non-inclusive list of currently or soon available funding sources from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the Inflation Reduction Act across multiple agencies that may have synergies with EPA’s Climate Pollution Reduction Grants (CPRG). It does not reflect a tabulation of total Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and Inflation Reduction Act funding. Other sources of funding, including programs no longer open for application, may also have synergies with CPRG.
