Funding Opportunities We Are Aware Of
U.S. Department of Education grant opportunity: Supporting America’s School Infrastructure (SASI) Grant Program
The purpose of this program is to increase the capacity of States to support high-need local educational agencies (LEAs) and schools in leveraging other available Federal, State, and local resources to improve school facilities and environments through public school infrastructure improvements to ensure that their public school facilities are safe, healthy, sustainable, and equitable learning environments for all students.
Applications are due August 7.
U.S. Department of Energy grant opportunity: Renew America’s Nonprofits
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) recently announced a first-of-its-kind investment to fund energy-efficiency improvements in the nonprofit sector. The Renew America’s Nonprofits program—referred to in President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law as the Energy Efficiency Materials Pilot Program—will reduce carbon emissions, improve health and safety, and lower utilities costs at buildings owned and operated by 501(c)(3) nonprofits, allowing critical funds to be redirected to mission-focused work.
Funds are available until expended.
Economic Development Administration grant opportunity: Public Works and Economic Adjustment Assistance
The Economic Development Administration intends to advance general economic development in accordance with their investment priorities, but also to pursue projects that, where practicable, incorporate specific priorities related to equity, workforce development and climate change resiliency.
