2015 HEALTHY COMMUNITIES GRANT PROGRAM
Posted by Environmental Protection Agency
Opportunity snapshot. This Grants.gov announcement — 2015 HEALTHY COMMUNITIES GRANT PROGRAM — is cataloged under number EPA-R1-HC-2015 and tied to CFDA assistance listing 66.110, posted by Environmental Protection Agency. Grants.gov currently shows the opportunity as closed, first posted on March 19, 2015 and last updated on March 26, 2015. The funding category is Discretionary, delivered as a cooperative agreement.
Award economics. The award range on file is Up to $200,000. The agency has projected $1.8 million in total estimated funding for this announcement. It expects to issue 15 awards. If the agency funds the expected 15 awards from the $1.8 million estimated pool, the average award works out to roughly $117,000. Cost sharing or matching funds are required, meaning applicants must contribute a portion of the project budget from non-federal sources — factor this into your financial plan before drafting the proposal. Federal award ranges are often upper bounds; actual allocations reflect program appropriations, the strength of the applicant pool, and the evaluation committee's scoring.
Deadline and action path. This opportunity closed on April 30, 2015. Future funding cycles may be published under the same CFDA number, so monitoring the parent program page is the most reliable way to catch re-announcements. Every Grants.gov submission requires an active SAM.gov registration and a Unique Entity ID. Review the Eligibility section below carefully — federal eligibility categories (nonprofit, state or local government, tribal, individual, educational institution, small business) have distinct registration and reporting requirements. Pre-application outreach to the listed agency contact is permitted and often welcomed — it helps clarify scope and scoring priorities.

Description
The Healthy Communities Grant Program was launched in 2003 and integrates several EPA New England programs including Air Quality Outreach, Assistance & Pollution Prevention, Asthma, Children’s Environmental Health and Clean, Green and Healthy Schools Initiative, Southeast New England Coastal Watershed Restoration Program (SNECWRP), Toxics, Urban Environmental Program, and Water Infrastructure (Stormwater, Wastewater, and Drinking Water). The goal of the program is to combine available resources and best identify competitive projects that will achieve measurable environmental and public health results in communities across New England. In order to streamline and simplify the application and competitive process, eligible applicants are invited to submit an Initial Proposal to EPA New England for funding consideration under this competitive grant program. Based on the quality of the eligible initial proposals as measured against the applicable criterion in Section V, finalists will be invited to submit full project proposals for further evaluation. The Healthy Communities Grant Program anticipates awarding approximately 10-15 cooperative agreements from these full project proposals in 2015.
