AMENDMENT: APPLICATION DUE DATE HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO JULY 27, 2018.
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Office of Environmental Justice (OEJ) will provide state assistance funding through the Environmental Justice Community Impact Grant program to community-based organizations for projects that address exposure of communities to multiple environmental harms and risks (“projects”).
Approximately $4,475,929 is available. Funding from this grant opportunity is provided from the state Environmental Protection Fund with dollars designated to Environmental Justice. The new appropriation language allows for applicants to be awarded up to $100,000 each until $2.5 million has been exhausted. The remaining $1,975,929 allows applicants to be awarded up to $50,000 each. Funding will be utilized to fund as many eligible projects as possible.
All projects must have defined objectives, tasks, and deliverables accounted for in performance measures that can be completed and invoiced within a 36 month contract period/term. Applicants should not begin their projects or incur costs until a Master Contract for Grants (MCG) has been fully approved by DEC, and if applicable approved by the Attorney General and the State Comptroller. Time extensions beyond the contract term end date will be determined by the Department based upon written justification from the Grantee. Applicants should not submit an application if they do not anticipate their project can be completed within the specified contract term.
Minimum grant amount is $2,500; Maximum grant amount is $100,000.
Matching funds are not a requirement under this grant opportunity.
Applicants may submit up to three applications, however, only one application per applicant may be funded. Multiple applications may not be for the same project or projection location.
