Funding Opportunities
The Bess Spiva Timmons Foundation, a family foundation, was established by Mrs. Timmons in 1967, to enable her children and grandchildren to carry on an already existing program of assistance in the areas of education, health, medical research, the arts, and programs with emphasis to benefit minority groups, social services, and ecology. Consideration is also given to experimental ventures in these designated areas. Smaller tax-exempt organizations, which have limited financial assistance, are favored for grants.
The Foundation cannot consider requests from individuals or associations based in foreign countries, and does not normally support operating expenses, salaries, payroll, endowments, major building projects, or major acquisitions. The Foundation does not make permanent commitments of support.
Grants generally range from one to five thousand dollars.
Purpose:
The purpose of this grant funding opportunity (Solicitation) is to award three regional administrators (Recipients) with funding to implement the Equitable Building Decarbonization (EBD) Direct Install Program. The program will be administered separately in Northern, Central, and Southern California to better ensure a broad distribution of funds.
Description:
The Recipients will implement the program in their awarded region to install energy-efficient electric appliances, energy efficiency measures, and related upgrades directly to low-income households living in single-family, multifamily, and manufactured homes in underresourced communities. Applications are required to (1) include community-based organizations (CBOs) for culturally appropriate outreach, education, and support for participating households and communities, and (2) include expertise in decarbonization of single-family homes, multifamily buildings, and manufactured housing.
The EPA, together with states, Tribes, and its many partners, protects public health by protecting current and future drinking water sources and ensuring the availability of high-quality drinking water. Two programs within the EPA that protect drinking water sources are the Underground Injection Control (UIC) and Source Water Protection (SWP) programs. The EPA is soliciting applications from eligible applicants to provide training to develop and expand the capability of state and Tribal UIC and SWP programs. Applicants should describe their proposed approach to providing training that will achieve these objectives. Applicants are encouraged to identify additional project elements in their applications that may not be included in this funding opportunity that may contribute to overall project success.
The Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) Program is designed to assist states, local governments, and Tribes in implementing strategies to reduce energy use, to reduce fossil fuel emissions, and to improve energy efficiency.

Funding Opportunity Announcement No. DE-FOA-0002829, titled BIL-Carbon Utilization Procurement Grants Under Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Section 40302
The overall objective of the planned Funding Opportunity Announcement is to support DOE’s current vision of the Carbon Utilization Procurement Grants Program which will illustrate that several incumbent products can be replaced or supplemented with alternatives that are derived from the conversion of anthropogenic carbon oxides, demonstrating that significant net reductions in greenhouse gas emissions are possible. These grants will illustrate that more sustainable alternatives are viable and will promote the deployment of these products even after the grant ends.
Brownfields Job Training Grants provide funding for a grant recipient to deliver trainings to unemployed and under-employed residents from communities impacted by brownfields. Students develop skills needed to secure fullt ime employment in various aspects of hazardous and solid waste management and within the larger environmental field, including sustainable cleanup and reuse, and chemical safety.
Funds may be used to offer trainings in:
Brownfields hazardous waste training
“Green Remediation” technologies
Green infrastructure and stormwater management
Emergency planning, preparedness, and response training for emergencies leading to contamination on brownfield sites
Enhanced environmental health and safety related to site remediation
Energy efficiency and alternative energy technologies
Training in assessment, inventory, analysis, and remediation of brownfield sites
Use of techniques and methods for cleanup of hazardous substances
Awareness training in Environmental Stewardship and Environmental Justice
Training in climate change mitigation and adaption
The objective of the IIG program is to promote infill housing development by providing financial assistance for Capital Improvement Projects that are an integral part of, or necessary to facilitate the development of affordable and mixed income housing.
Assistance Type
Under the Program, grants are available as gap funding for infrastructure, Factory-Built Housing components, and Adaptive Reuse necessary for specific residential or mixed-use infill developments. Applications will be accepted and evaluated for threshold requirements and eligibility on a continuous basis via an over-the-counter process, on the merits of the individual applications.
Eligible Costs
Eligible costs include, but are not limited to, the creation, development, or rehabilitation of Parks or Open Space; water, sewer or other utility service improvements (including internet and electric vehicle infrastructure); streets; roads; Transit Station Structured Parking; transit linkages or facilities; facilities that support pedestrian or bicycle transit; traffic mitigation, sidewalk, or streetscape improvements; Factory-Built Housing components; Adaptive Reuse; and site preparation or demolition.

Eligible Applicant means a nonprofit or for-profit Developer of a Qualifying Infill Project or a Tribal Entity that is the Developer of a Qualifying Infill Project.
The purpose of this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) is to support research on interventions to improve health in Native American populations. This includes 1) etiologic research that will directly inform intervention development or adaptations, 2) research that develops, adapts, or tests interventions for health promotion, prevention, treatment, or recovery, and 3) where a sufficient body of knowledge on intervention efficacy exists, research on dissemination and implementation that develops and tests strategies to overcome barriers to the adoption, integration, scale-up, and sustainability of effective interventions. Through this initiative, intervention and related research is sought to build upon community knowledge, resources, and resilience to identify and rigorously test culturally appropriate solutions to reduce morbidity and mortality. The inclusion of Native American investigators serving on the study teams or as the PD(s)/PI(s) is strongly encouraged.
For the purposes of this NOFO, Native Americans include the following populations: Alaska Natives, American Indians (whose ancestral lands fall at least partially within the U.S. mainland border), and Native Hawaiians. The term Native Hawaiian means any individual any of whose ancestors were natives, prior to 1778, of the area, which now comprises the State of Hawaii.
We will consider three principal types of grants:
Project Support Grants support specific projects or programs aligned with our mission. These requests may include some funds earmarked for the overhead costs associated with running a project.
General Operating Support Grants provide limited general operating support for the core operations or organizations whose missions and activities are aligned with our mission. These grants will often help the grantee build organizational, programmatic, and fundraising capacity. Operating support is not intended to help organizations in fiscal crisis. Applicants must have a current strategic or business plan that clearly outlines the organization’s goals and presents a plan for achieving results. Operating support grants must not exceed 15% of an organization’s total agency budget.
Capital Support Grants provide limited support for capital campaigns to fund the acquisition and construction of facilities, existing property renovation, or the purchase of major equipment. The program has a comprehensive approach to funding capital initiatives, which also includes funding for increased program capacity. A feasibility study may be required for capital initiatives to be considered.
