As federal policymakers award grant funds to implement climate, clean energy, transportation, and other programs, they have opportunities to remove barriers to the distribution of federal resources.
In a newly released report from Georgetown Climate Center -- "Unlocking Equitable Access to Grants: Options for Federal Policymakers to Improve Matching Fund Requirements" -- Grace Gibson, GCC Climate Fellow, and Matthew Goetz, Associate Director of GCC’s Mitigation Program, explore how matching fund requirements present significant barriers for overburdened communities to benefit from these federal programs. Despite the Biden Administration’s Initiative, which aims to distribute 40 percent of federal funding benefits to communities, matching requirements persist as barriers for these communities to obtain federal funding. However, federal agencies have an opportunity to mitigate and, when possible, remove this barrier to increase equitable access to federal grant funding for overburdened communities.
This report offers six recommendations for federal policymakers to remove barriers and increase equitable access to federal funding for overburdened communities, and allow federal agencies to advance environmental justice goals and ensure equitable distribution of resources. Read more here:
