EPA Region 3 RFA Released
Print this Article | Send to Colleague
We wanted to let all our members in EPA Region 3 states know that the 
EPA recently released a new RFA for this region.
Here’s what the EPA is looking for:
The EPA is “soliciting applications designed to address the growing food waste problem; there is not an adequate amount of organics recycling and composting infrastructure in Region 3 to meet the United States’ Food Loss and Waste Reduction Goal. Proposals must directly benefit at least one of the EPA Region 3 States of Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia and the District of Columbia (DC). Applications must address at least one of the following objectives: 1. Initiate or facilitate the development of new food waste composting capacity; and/or 2. Enhance or increase the capacity to collect and/or process food waste at existing composting facilities. Limitations on funding opportunity for FY22: Projects must support sustainable management of food.”
The RFA is due June 3. You can read the whole RFA which is attached.
Both USCC and CREF would be happy to talk about partnership opportunities regarding your project and this potential grant.
If you are interested in exploring that option, contact Beth Simone, with CREF, at bethsimone@compostfoundation.org.
