Under the Thriving Communities Grantmaking Program (TCGM), the Green & Healthy Homes Initiative (GHHI) will award grants totaling $40 million for environmental justice projects throughout the region.

The funding is geared to communities disproportionately affected by environmental, climate, and human health harms and risks. Eligible projects include, but are not limited to, those focused on air and water quality, stormwater treatment, food access, local cleanup projects, combatting illegal dumping activities, healthy housing, toxin remediation, and more.

Join us for an informational webinar about GHHI's Thriving Communities Grantmaking (TCGM) program on Wednesday, August 7 from 11am-12:30pm to learn more. Register Today!

This event is intended for community-based EJ leaders working in nonprofits, local government entities, tribal governments, Native American organizations, and public and private universities and colleges to obtain information and guidance about how to access these important funding opportunities.
