    Event Overview

    It’s the largest-ever infusion of federal funds in clean energy and climate change, with the lion’s share — 40% of $27 billion — earmarked for communities that bear the highest per capita energy costs and are overburdened by pollution. But how much do communities know about the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund or that it is a vital part of the two-year-old Inflation Reduction Act? What energy-burdened communities are already mobilizing to receive grants for climate and green energy projects? Where are the most energy-burdened regions? How can local agencies — including grassroots nonprofits — apply?

    A panel of experts and local stakeholders will examine the GGRF in-depth and explain how this historic investment can reduce household energy costs and uplift working-class and poor communities.
