EPA Community Change Grant selectees have a number of pre-award requirements and milestones to meet before signing their cooperative agreements with EPA, as well as programmatic and financial compliance requirements once the project begins. Please reach out for help:
- We offer pro bono 1:1 support, please email epa-support@trccompanies.com.
- We have created an Introduction and Checklist to guide entities through grant negotiations and to grant award acceptance.
- We host biweekly Group Learning Sessions on Thursdays from 2-3 pm ET so selectees can ask questions, connect with other selectees, and exchange information. If your entity has been selected for a CCG award and you would like to join these sessions, please reach out to genesis.sanchez@
environmentalprotectionnetwork .org. Resources that have been presented during Learning Sessions include: - A Build America Buy America (BABA) presentation
- A Federal Procurement and DBRA presentation
- An Audits and Site Visits presentation
- Letter templates for government representative outreach and support
- Financial Management Best Practices Handbook
- EPN Media Interview Strategies
Please keep in mind that feedback on the current resources and suggestions for additional materials are welcome. Please send an email to kathy.pope@environmentalprotectionnetwork.org if you have recommendations.
Also, on Wednesday, September 11, 2024, we held a webinar to go over the Introduction and Checklist steps, provide information, and answer questions. If you were unable to attend, you can now access the webinar slides and a recording.
