The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s(EPA’s) Office of Solid Waste (OSW) recognizesthat lack of adequate funding might hamper the

establishment or continuation of solid waste manage-ment activities in Indian Country. For this reason, EPAdeveloped this grant resource guide to help tribes,Alaska native villages, and community and nonprofitorganizations identify financial assistance opportuni-ties for their solid waste management programs. Itprovides information on developing effective grantproposals and describes potential funding sources forsolid waste management activities.

The first part of this guide lists federal grantsources for solid waste management activities. Thesecond part describes private grant sources, generallyavailable to nonprofit organizations. Information oneach grant’s goal, eligibility requirements, applicationprocess, fund availability, and previous grants award-ed is included. Readers should note that environmen-tal grants are only part of the funding allocated bymany of the grant programs listed in this guide. Thesources included here indicated that solid waste man-agement is of interest to them, but it might not be themain thrust of their grant programs. It also should benoted that additional sources of funding for solidwaste management might be available from organiza-tions or agencies not included in this guide.

Grants are sums of money awarded to finance aparticular activity or facility. Generally, these grants donot need to be paid back. Federal agencies and otherorganizations sponsor grant programs for various rea-sons. Before developing a grant proposal, it is vitallyimportant to understand the goals of the particular

federal agency or private organization and of the grantprogram itself. You can accomplish this through dis-cussions with the information contact listed in eachresource description. Through these discussions, youmight find that, in order for a particular project to beeligible for funding, the original concept needs to bemodified to meet the criteria of the grant program. Inallocating funds, grantors base their decisions on yourability to fit your proposed activities within theirinterest areas.

It is also important for you to become familiar witheligibility requirements and other pertinent criteria setby the organization and grant program from whichyou seek assistance. Remember that the basic require-ments, application forms, information, deadlines, andprocedures will vary for each grantor. Since fundinginformation often changes, we strongly encourage youto contact specific funding sources before preparingapplications.

FFiinnaanncciiaall IInnffoorrmmaattiioonn:: Grants are awarded up to$200,000.

Formula and Matching Requirements: EPA will requirenonfederal matching funds of at least 25 percent ofthe federal funding requested. This matching share ofproject costs may be provided in cash, in-kind contri-butions, or other noncash support.


Program Accomplishments: Since launching the JTRprogram in 1994, EPA has awarded more than $7.2million in grant funding to 36 states, 5 tribes, and 3

multistate organizations. Types of grants fundedinclude Recycling Economic Development Advocates(REDAs) and Recycling Business Assistance Centers(RBACs), commodity-specific demonstration projects,and Recycling Investment Forums.

A review of four well-established programs shows thateach investment of $1 million in JTR grants hashelped businesses create more than 1,700 jobs and$290 million in capital investment.

Examples of Funded Projects: The Quechan Tribe of theFort Yuma Indian Reservation in Arizona will create acraft paper-making business. The tribe will handcraftwriting paper from postconsumer paper diverted fromthe local waste stream. The tribe will sell this artproduct to the 750,000 winter residents of Yuma.This cottage industry will provide specialized trainingand employment to tribal members who currentlyface 60 percent unemployment on the reservation.

DDeeaaddlliinnee:: The proposal process relies extensively ondirect communications (in person or by phone, fax, ore-mail) with EPA regional JTR contacts. Parties inter-ested in applying should contact the appropriate JTRcontact as soon as possible to discuss project ideas.Any questions regarding the JTR program, eligiblecosts, and activities should be addressed prior to sub-mitting a proposal outline.

PPuurrppoossee:: The PPGs are an alternative assistance deliv-ery mechanism and do not represent funding in addi-tion to grants provided under individual authorities.PPGs provide states and tribes with the option tocombine funds from two or more categorical grantsinto one or more PPG. Benefits of these grantsinclude:

■ Flexibility. States and tribes will have the flexibilityto address their highest environmental prioritiesacross all media and establish resource allocationsbased on those priorities, while continuing toaddress core program commitments.

■ Improved Environmental Performance. States andtribes can: 1) more effectively link program activi-ties with environmental goals and program out-comes and 2) develop innovative P2, ecosystem,and community-based strategies.

■ Administrative Savings. Recipients and EPA canreduce administrative burdens and costs by greatlyreducing the numbers of grant applications, bud-gets, workplans, and reports.

■ Strengthened Partnerships. EPA will develop part-nerships with states and tribes where both partiesshare the same environmental and program goalsand deploy their unique resources and abilities tojointly accomplish those goals.
