Environmental Justice Data Fund
The second round of grantmaking for the Environmental Justice Data Fund (EJDF) will be supported by a $4 million fund. The EJDF aims to help frontline communities historically underserved and disproportionately impacted by climate change and environmental injustice in the United States use data to address environmental hazards, with special attention to matters regarding air and water quality. The EJDF will support eligible organizations to unlock resources, increase their access to federal infrastructure funding, and advocate for new policies that empower communities to address past environmental harm and pave the way to a more sustainable, climate-resilient future.
The fund aims to provide one-time flexible project support for data projects that: 1) range from building organizational capacity for data work to implementing research and data; 2) may involve research planning, scenario planning, data collection, data analysis, and/or data visualization, or other activities; 3) will use data work to mitigate past environmental harm and promote climate resilience (preference will be given to projects that work on air and water quality); and 4) serve communities that have been historically underserved and disproportionately impacted by climate change and environmental injustice, including Black, Latino/a/x/e, Indigenous, Tribal, Southern, rural, and low-income communities.

Urban Agriculture and Innovative Production (UAIP) Competitive Grants Program
Supports the development of urban agriculture and innovative production activities by funding Planning Projects and Implementation Projects led by nonprofit organizations, local or Tribal governments, and schools.
The primary goal of the UAIP projects is to support the development of urban agriculture and innovative production. The UAIP grants being made available for application under this NFO support planning and implementation activities. Planning activities will initiate, develop, or support the efforts of farmers, gardeners, citizens, government officials, schools, members of tribal communities, and other stakeholders in areas where access to fresh foods are limited or unavailable. Implementation activities will accelerate existing and emerging models of urban and/or innovative agricultural practices that serve multiple farmers or gardeners. Innovation may include new and emerging, as well as indigenous or non-traditional agricultural practices. Activities may include, but are not limited to, community gardens, urban farms, rooftop farms, urban agroforests, food forests, orchards, outdoor vertical production, green walls, indoor farms, controlled environment agricultural production, greenhouses, high-tech vertical technology farms, and hydroponic, aeroponic, and aquaponic farm facilities.
