What is the EJ Thriving Communities Grantmaking Program?
Cultivating Healthy Environments – Region 7 is a part of the national Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Grantmaking program (EJ TCGM). We are partnering with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to support communities in EPA Region 7 to cultivate and sustain healthy environments. The program makes it easier for community-based organizations to apply for federal grants that address environmental issues. No cost matching is necessary.
Our grantmaking program is designed to empower communities to pursue grants that address local priorities. The TCGM Region 7 grantmaking program serves 4 states and 9 Tribal Nations. There are also TCGM programs serving organizations within EPA Region 4, Region 5, Region 6, and TCGM National-Central which serves groups across Regions 4-7.
Other Thriving Communities programs include EPA Thriving Communities Technical Assistance Centers (TCTAC) and Community Change Grants.
