Environmental grants with open deadlines

72 currently open · refreshed daily

Environmental funding comes from EPA (environmental justice, education, cleanup), NOAA (coastal and marine), USDA Forest Service, and Fish & Wildlife. Community environmental groups do best with EPA's smaller community-focused programs, which are explicitly designed for local nonprofits and often have simplified applications. Watch for cooperative-agreement listings — they come with more agency involvement but are often less competitive than standard grants. Everything below is currently open and refreshed daily from grants.gov.
