Deadline: 21 February 2020

The Center for Health, Environment & Justice (CHEJ) has announced a Small Grants Program for grassroots groups working on environmental health and justice issues.

This grant program will support projects that help groups move toward their goals by building leadership, increasing capacity and/or providing training and education. A priority of CHEJ’s Small Grants Program is to help grassroots community groups to build their capacity. The program is designed to especially reach people from low wealth communities and communities of color who are impacted by environmental harms.

CHEJ prioritizes community-based organizations aiming to have local, state and regional impact as the core of the health and environmental justice movement. CHEJ believes that no social change on behalf of the exploited comes without strong community-based organizations.

Grant activities can include board development, membership outreach, and fundraising efforts. Project activities could also include meetings to develop an organizing/strategic plan, training leaders to go door-to-door, events, educational activities which are directly connected to their strategic plan, or general events. It is recommended that project activities be creative, effective and strategic.

Funding Information

  • The grant application is different for different sized organizations. Small organizations and all volunteer groups with budgets under $50,000 should apply for Tier One with the button on the right. Grants are available in this tier range from $1,000 to $5,000.
  • For organizations with budgets no greater than $250,000 should use the Tier Two application. This tier of the program will provide support from $5,000 to $10,000.
  • For organizations with budgets greater than $250,000 but less than $1,000,000 they are not yet accepting application. This tier will provide support from $10,000 to $20,000.
  • If applicants are a grassroots group, but are not incorporated and do not have a bank account, applicants will need to find an organization that can accept the funds for their group, such as a faith-based organization or other non-profit who will serve as their “fiscal sponsor.”
