LENEXA, KAN. (AUG. 5, 2024) – EPA Region 7 invites the public to join an
in-person informational session in Omaha, Nebraska, to help communities
navigate EPA’s Inflation Reduction Act investments and other new funding
opportunities. This event aims to inform community leaders of new, historical
funding opportunities and the impacts they can make.
EPA will hold the session on Thursday, Aug. 8, from 6 to 7:30 p.m.
The session will focus on EPA’s Community Change Grant program and
Environmental Justice (EJ) Thriving Communities Grantmaker subgrants. This
once-in-a-lifetime financing and resources provide opportunities and technical
assistance to help communities confront environmental pollution, climate
change challenges, and create positive change in their communities.
This initiative seeks to highlight EPA programs designed to ensure that
communities on the frontline of the climate crisis are benefiting from the
public health, resilience, and economic opportunities unleashed by recent
transformative appropriations.
The outreach event will also allow attendees to speak with EJ program staff
and ask questions, highlight concerns, and learn more about EJ Grant
programs. This session will also provide a unique opportunity for community
members and organizations to engage with their peers, develop or leverage
community-based partnerships, and workshop ideas together.
Through this event, EPA Region 7 is providing spaces for communities to
develop new or deeper community-based partnerships. Attendees will learn about
historic funding and technical assistance through programming that is designed
to be especially helpful for overburdened communities. The event will help
them confront the climate crisis and advance environmental justice locally as
they learn, connect, and cultivate ideas on how to access these extraordinary
resources.
Environmental justice is the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all
people, regardless of race, color, national origin, or income, with respect to
the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws,
regulations, and policies.
Register by email for the Omaha Informational Session.
*To allow as many organizations as possible to participate, we ask that you
kindly limit your organization’s participation to one representative.
Learn more about historic funding opportunities. If you have any questions,
