Under President Biden’s Investing in America agenda, the Biden-Harris Administration has designated Texas Southern University as a Regional Grantmaker, set to receive $50,000,000 under the EPA’s Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Grantmaking program. This initiative, born out of the President’s Inflation Reduction Act, marks the largest-ever investment in climate action. The program aims to streamline access to federal environmental justice funding for small community-based organizations, addressing long-standing barriers and inefficiencies in the awards process.
