Please see the below announcement from the EPA regarding an upcoming grant funding opportunity.
We (EPA) are writing to ask for your help to spread the word that the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the Wildfire Smoke Preparedness in Community Buildings grant program is now open for applications through May 9th. We hope that you can help us reach eligible entities through your network and encourage them to apply for this funding opportunity.
This program provides grants and cooperative agreements to States, federally recognized Tribes, public pre-schools, local educational agencies, and non-profit organizations for the assessment, prevention, control, and/or abatement of wildfire smoke hazards in community buildings and related activities. The total estimated funding available for awards is $10,670,000. EPA anticipates awarding approximately 13-18 grants, ranging from $100,000 to $2,000,000. Funded assistance agreements will have up to 3-year periods of performance. See our webpage for additional details about the program.
EPA will host an information session webinar for potential applicants on April 10th at 3:00 – 4:00pm Eastern. During the webinar, EPA will provide an overview of the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) and the application process. Register here.
