Funding opportunity
Grant Funding to Address Indoor Air Pollution at Schools
The EPA’s Grant Funding to Address Indoor Air Pollution at Schools program, funded through the Inflation Reduction Act, supports efforts to monitor and reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other air pollutants in K-12 schools, particularly those in low-income, disadvantaged, and Tribal communities. The initiative assists schools in developing and adopting comprehensive indoor air quality (IAQ) management plans aligned with EPA best practices. In the most recent funding cycle, $5-8 million was allocated across multiple projects, with grantees providing guidance, technical assistance, training, and sub-awards to schools seeking to improve air quality. While the application window has closed, schools can still access resources and support through the five selected awardees. Schools interested in implementing air quality improvements should visit the program website for details on available technical assistance.
