There is a recurring grant opportunity available in a single state that focuses on supporting organizations in adopting cleaner and more efficient equipment. The program is designed to help reduce emissions and improve environmental conditions by providing financial assistance to cover part of the cost of upgrading older, higher-polluting machinery to newer, lower-emission alternatives. The funding is aimed at encouraging projects that have a meaningful impact on air quality and overall community health.
Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations and small businesses that operate qualifying equipment. Individuals are generally not eligible. Applicants are expected to demonstrate how their projects will contribute to cleaner operations, whether by replacing aging vehicles, machinery, or other equipment with newer models that produce fewer emissions. Preference is given to projects that maximize environmental benefits, such as those that move toward zero-emission technology or reduce idling and fuel use.
The grant funding typically ranges up to tens of thousands of dollars, covering a portion of the cost of equipment replacement or upgrades. The level of support may vary depending on the type of project, the emissions reductions achieved, and the overall scope of the proposed improvements. Funding can be used for the purchase and installation of eligible equipment, as well as related project expenses that help ensure the success of the emissions reduction goals.
The grant is available to projects implemented within the state and is intended to make cleaner technologies more accessible by reducing the financial burden on organizations. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis or at set intervals each year, and funding is awarded to projects that align with the program’s environmental priorities. This creates an ongoing opportunity for eligible nonprofits and small businesses to modernize equipment, reduce emissions, and contribute to healthier communities through sustainable operational improvements.
