What is the EJ Thriving Communities Grantmaking Program (TCGM)?

We are partnering with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to support communities in EPA Regions 4, 5, 6, and 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 National-Central grantmaking program serves 23 states and 116 Tribal nations. There are also TCGM programs serving organizations within EPA Region 4, Region 5, Region 6, and Region 7.
