Grants.gov

Grants.gov allows organizations to electronically find and apply for competitive grant opportunities from all Federal grant-making agencies. Grants.gov is the single access point for over 900 grant programs offered by the 26 Federal grant-making agencies. This website provides a simple, unified electronic storefront for interactions between grant applicants and the Federal agencies that manage grant funds. The US Department of Health and Human Services is the managing partner for Grants.gov.

EPA has produced a guide to help local governments navigate the nearly two dozen federal programs that can help communities in one way or another to assess, cleanup and reuse brownfields. Although only a few of these federal programs focus explicitly on brownfields, if communities apply some creativity to make the brownfields connection they can benefit from many other federal programs.

Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance

This catalog describes over 1,000 domestic assistance programs administered by the federal government. The catalog is updated by the U.S. General Services Administration twice a year in June and December. As a basic reference source for federal programs, the catalog helps users identify programs that meet their objectives and obtain information on federal assistance programs. In addition, the catalog is intended to improve coordination and communication between the federal government and state, local, and tribal governments.

EPA Catalog of Federal Funding Sources for Watershed Protection

The EPA Catalog of Federal Funding Sources for Watershed Protection web site is a searchable database of financial assistance sources (grants, loans, cost-sharing) available to fund a variety of watershed protection projects.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) State and Local Capacity Building Branch has updated its 52-page funding opportunities directory. This directory is designed to help identify financial and technical assistance opportunities for efforts that reduce energy costs, improve air quality and public health, and enhance opportunities for economic development.

Funding Opportunities: A Directory of Energy Efficiency, Renewable Energy, and Environmental Protection Assistance Programs provides an extensive list of grants available from EPA, other federal agencies, state governments, and private foundations. Grants are organized by topic, with detailed descriptions and contact information for each grant. The document also provides links to online resources with more information.

Environmental Protection Agency's Watershed Funding Web Site

Committed watershed organizations and state and local governments need adequate resources to achieve the goals of the Clean Water Act and improve our nation's water quality. To support these efforts, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has created this Web site to provide tools, databases, and information about sources of funding to practitioners and funders that serve to protect watersheds.

The water sector can compete for funds allocated under the Homeland Security Grant Program and for funds to secure critical infrastructure under the Infrastructure Protection Program. The grants will enhance the water sector’s ability to prepare for, respond to and recover from manmade and naturally occurring events. The Water Security Grant and Funding Matrix provides information to the water sector on grants and funding available for water security related measures. It identifies the major opportunities offered by the Department of Homeland Security and its Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and provides specific background, eligibility criteria, application timelines, available funding, and acceptable uses of that funding.

Also, the EPA offers advice on how DWSRF and CWSRF funds can be used for secruity or resilience enhancements.
