| U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Office Of Environmental Justice Seeks Grant Proposals For Cooperative Agreements To Support Communities Affected By The BP Oil Spill | | | Closing Date: September 13, 2010
The environmental justice cooperative agreements are designed to support communities in Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas that are directly affected by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
They will provide funding to incorporated local non-profit community-based organizations - including faith-based organizations, environmental justice networks, and local Native American tribal governments. They are intended to assist local communities facing environmental justice challenges and help develop educational materials and strategies on how to address and adapt to the spill's long-term effects.
EPA developed this program after meeting with local organizations in the Gulf Region and learning that there is a need for technical assistance to support educational outreach to communities affected by the BP oil spill.
Providing grant funding directly to local organizations will help to ensure that information is distributed through trusted networks of communication and from organizations that will continue to support efforts to rebuild in the wake of disaster.
