Preparing for a Thriving Communities Grantmaking Award

These resources are for organizations who submitted applications to the MAP EJ Grants Hub, the Region 8 Grantmaker for the Thriving Communities Grantmaking Program. Many of our applicants are new to federal funding through the EPA, so we wanted to share some resources about EPA funding and the MAP EJ Grants Hub grantmaking process. If your project is chosen to receive a subgrant, you may be required to abide by some or all of these policies.

If you are selected to receive an award, you will receive formal notification of requirements and conditions. Your grant manager will also work with you to support your compliance.

The resources are for informational purposes only, and no action is required. Applicants who are finalists for funding will receive separate notifications of next steps.
