Effective immediately, the Cultivating Healthy Environments TCGM Grantmaking Program has been terminated due to shifts in priorities by the federal administration. This decision affects grantmaking efforts across all programs — including Region 4, Region 7, and the National Central Region (Regions 4-7).

Due to the program termination, we can no longer accept, review, or fund applications through this program. Much of the content in your Grantmakers’ application will align with other funding opportunities. We encourage you to download a copy of your application and feedback for future reference.

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. Our grantmaking program is designed to empower communities to pursue grants that address local priorities.

No cost matching is necessary. If you are located in EPA Region 4 or want to apply through the National-Central grantmaking program, visit the Region 4  or National-Central program websites to learn more.

For more information, visit the Region 7 program website.
