; i he U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's
I; Office of Solid Waste recognizes that lack of
i i adequate funding may hamper the establish-
ment of new or threaten existing solid waste manage-
ment activities in Indian Country. For this reason, EPA
developed this grant resource guide to help tribes,
Alaskan native villages, and community and nonprofit
organizations identify financial assistance opportuni-
ties for their solid waste management programs. It
provides general information on developing effective
grant proposals and describes potential funding
sources for solid waste activities.
The first part of the guide lists federal sources of
grants for solid waste management activities. The sec-
ond part describes private sources of grants, generally
available to nonprofit organizations. Information on
each gran (maker's purpose, eligibility requirements,
application process, amount of available funding, and
amounts previously awarded is included. It should be
noted that environmental grants are only a portion of
the funding many of these grantmakers allocate. The
included sources have indicated that solid waste man-
agement is of interest to them, but it may not be the
main thrust of their grant programs. It should also be
noted that additional sources of funding for solid
waste management may be available from organiza-
tions or agencies not included in this guide.
Grants are sums of money awarded to finance a
particular activity or facility. Generally, these grant
awards do not need to be paid back. Federal agencies
and other organizations sponsor grant programs for
various reasons. Before developing a grant proposal, it
is vitally important to understand the goals of the par-
ticular federal agency or private organization, and of
the grant program itself. This can be accomplished
through discussions with the information contact
listed in each resource description. Through these
discussions an applicant may find that, in order for a
particular project to be eligible for funding, the origi
nal concept may need to be modified to meet the
criteria of the grant program. In allocating funds,
grantmakers base their decisions on the applicant's
ability to fit its proposed activities within the grant
makers' interest areas.
It is also important for an applicant to become
familiar with eligibility requirements and other petti
nent criteria related to the organization and grant
program from which assistance is sought. Applicants
should remember that the basic requirements, appli-
cation forms, information, deadlines, and procedures
will vary for each grantmaker. Since funding informa-
tion changes, potential applicants are strongly encour-
aged to contact specific funding sources before
preparing applications.
NOTE: An the M the
A of how to a
on a
is for your
A successful grant proposal is one that is thought-
fully planned, well prepared, and concisely packaged.
There are eight basic components in a solid proposal
package: (1) proposal summary (2) introduction of
the organization (3) problem statement (or needs
assessment) (4) project objectives (5) project methods
or design (6) project evaluation (7) future funding
and (8) project budget.
-------
for in
The proposal summary appears at the beginning of
the proposal and outlines the project. It can be in the
form of a cover letter or a separate page, but it should
be briefno longer than two or three paragraphs. It
is often helpful to prepare the summary after the pro-
posal has been developed in order to encompass all
the key points necessary to communicate the objec-
tives of the project. The summary document becomes
the cornerstone of the proposal, and the initial
impression it gives will be critical to the success of the
venture. It very possibly could be the only part of the
package that is carefully reviewed before the decision
is made to consider die project further.
Most proposals require a description of an appli
cants organization and its past, present, and projected
operations. Some features to consider are a brief biog-
raphy of board members and key staff members; the
organizations goals, philosophy, and track record with
other grantors; and any success stories. The data
should be relevant to the goals of the granting organi-
zation and its grant program, and should establish the
applicants credibility.
The problem statement (or needs assessment) is a
key element of a proposal. It should be a clear, con-
cise, and well-supported statement of die problem to
be overcome using the grant funding. An applicant
could include data collected during a needs assess-
ment that would illustrate the problems to be
addressed. The information provided should be both
factual and directly related to the problem addressed
by the proposal.
The project objectives should explicitly describe
the goals of the project. Applicants should detail the
expected results and benefits for each objective. They
should also list the specific criteria of the grant pro-
gram, and describe how the proposal meets each cri-
teria.
The project method outlines the tasks that will be
accomplished with the available resources. It is help-
ful to structure the project method in the form of a
timeline. Marly in the planning process, applicants
should list the tasks that will have to be completed to
meet the goals of the project. They can then break
these into smaller tasks and lay them out in a sched-
ule over the grant time period. This provides an
opportunity to consider what personnel, materials,
and other resources will be needed to cany out the
tasks.
Applicants should develop) measurement criteria to
evaluate success in achieving project goals. It is
important to define as carefully and precisely as possi-
ble how success will be determined. Applicants
should ask themselves what they expect to be differ-
ent once the project is complete.
Applicants may be asked to list anticipated sources
of continuing funding after die termination of die
grant assistance. The applicant may also be required
to list other sources and amounts of funding obtained
for the project.
Particular expenses should be outlined in detail in
die project budget. It can also be helpful to divide the
budget into categories such as personnel salaries and
benefits, travel, equipment, supplies, contract costs,
etc. Many grant applications request a line item bud-
get. The budget should show how funds will be spent
and by which entities, and should demonstrate its
consistency with project activities.
-------
Docs the proposal do a good job of outlining
the problem and the approach to solving it?
Does the proposal clearly describe how the
project will meet and achieve the criteria out-
lined in the particular grant?
Does the application include information that
was specifically requested?
Does the proposal provide a clear statement of
the link between the goals of the agency or
organization providing the funding and this
particular project?
Is a clear identification and background
description of the population to be served
included in the proposal?
Is the proposed project built on existing pro-
jects or programs?
Does the proposal mention other groups the
applicant will work with? If so, does the appli-
cation include letters of commitment from
these groups?
Does the application identify discrete tasks,
objectives, and time frames?
Can the scope of the project be completed in a
funding year (or specified time frame)?
Is an honest discussion of the challenges
involved included in the proposal?
Are the methods of evaluating or measuring
the success of the project clear?

Agency
The consolidated program support grant is
an alternative assistance delivery mechanism that
allows a state or local agency responsible for continu-
ing pollution control programs to develop an integrat-
ed approach to pollution control. An agency eligible
for assistance for two or more pollution control pro-
grams may consolidate its assistance requests into a
single application and receive a single consolidated
award in an effort to reduce administrative and appli-
cation costs. The consolidated grants program does
not represent funding in addition to grants provided
under individual authorities, but merely represents
the amount of consolidation taking place within the
Agency's total grant appropriations.

Activities eligible for fund-
ing under this program are those for planning, devel-
oping, and establishing capability to implement
environmental protection programs including devel-
opment and implementation of solid and hazardous
waste programs. General assistance agreements offer
the opportunity for a tribe to develop an integrated
environmental program, develop the capability to
manage specific programs, and establish a core pro-
gram for environmental protection. These assistance
agreements provide the opportunity for the tribes to
define and develop administrative and legal infra-
structures, to conduct assessments, monitoring, plan-
ning, and other actions, and to undertake additional
activities within a simplified administrative frame-
work. The primary purpose of these assistance agree
merits is to support the development of elements of a
core environmental program, such as: providing for
tribal capacity-building to assure an environmental
presence for identifying programs and projects,
including developing proposals for environmental
program grants and managing environmental work;
fostering compliance with federal environmental
statutes by developing appropriate tribal environmen-
tal programs, ordinances, and services; and establish-
ing a communications capability to work with federal,
state, local, and other tribal environmental officials.
' ..; :.. The principal focus of this program is on
the development of general tribal environmental capa
bility. Assistance will be provided under this program
only for activities which the agency determines are
appropriate to carry out the purposes of the Indian
Environmental General Assistance Program Act of
1992. No single grant awarded under this program
may be for an amount exceeding 10 percent of the
total annual funds appropriated under Section (h) of
the Act.

A Performance Partnership Grant (PPG) is a
multi-program grant made to a state or tribal agency
by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
from funds allocated and otherwise available for cate-
gorical grant programs. PPGs provide states and tribes
with the option to combine funds from two or more
categorical grants into one or more PPG.
-------
Benefits of these grants include:
»t« States and tribes will have the flexibility
to address their highest environmental priorities
across all media and establish resource allocations
based on those priorities, while continuing to
address core program commitments.
»}» States and
tribes can: (1) more effectively link program activi-
ties with environmental goals and program out-
comes; and (2) develop innovative pollution
prevention, ecosystem, and community-based
strategies.
*J» Recipients and EPA can
reduce administrative burdens and costs by greatly
reducing the numbers of grant applications, bud-
gets, workplans, and reports.
»{* HPA will develop part-
nerships with states and tribes where both parties
share the same environmental and program goals
and deploy their unique resources and abilities to
jointly accomplish those goals.
All states and federally recognized Indian tribes
(including environmental, health, agriculture, and
other state or tribal agencies) eligible to receive
more than one categorical grant in Fiscal Year (FY)
1996 are eligible to receive PPGs.
Local agencies are eligible if they: (1) are a state
agency; and (2) receive direct funding from EPA
for two or more of the eligible grant programs.
PPGs do not affect state or tribal agency "pass
through" grants to local or other agencies.
State or tribal agency eligibility is subject to the
authority of the governor or state legislature, or
tribal authorities, as appropriate.
States and tribes may apply for PPGs for any peri-
od after enactment of statutory authority for the
program and may convert FY 1996 categorical
grants to a PPG during the year.
Applicants should apply for FY 1996 categorical
grants in the event that EPA does not receive PPG
authority. Applicants may use most of the same
elements (e.g. workplans or program plans) of the
categorical applications package for (lie PPG appli-
cation package. EPA will eliminate any unnecessary
or duplicative documentation.
*«» PPG program commitments are the programmatic
basis for the PPG award and grant accountability.
Commitments may consist of environmental indi
cators, performance measures (including measures
of activity), and narrative descriptions of program
activities or program elements. PPG program com
mitments must have core program elements and
performance measures, as defined by appropriate
environmental statutes, regulations and EPA or
State policy. PPG program commitments may be
contained in categorical workplans, in an
Environmental Performance Agreement or in a
Tribal Environmental Agreement.

territory or possession of the United States, any
agency or instrumentality of a state including state
universities, and all federally recognized Indian tribes.
Local governments or other political subdivisions of
the state are not instrumentalities of the state and are
therefore not eligible to apply directly for funding.
Private universities, private nonprofit organizations,
and other private organizations are also directly
encouraged to work with eligible state or interstate
agencies in developing pollution prevention proposals
and may be included as participants in the project.
EPA strongly encourages this type of cooperative
arrangement.

The Pollution Prevention Grant Program has several
discrete grant programs administered by the Office of
Prevention, Pesticides and Toxic Substances in the
EPA. These programs support the establishment and
expansion of state pollution prevention programs and
address various sectors of concern such as industrial
toxics agriculture, energy, transportation, etc. Funds
awarded under this grant/cooperative agreement
should be awarded to support innovative pollution
prevention programs that address the transfer of
potentially harmful pollutants across all media air,
land, and water. Such innovative programs should
reflect comprehensive and coordinated pollution pre-
vention planning and implementation efforts.
I'unds may be used for'.' demonstrating the impact of
institutionalizing multimedia pollution prevention as
an environmental management priority; establishing
prevention goals, and developing strategies to meet
those goals; initiating demonstration projects that
support and test innovative pollution prevention
applications and integrate the pollution prevention
ethic within both governmental and non-governmen-
tal institutions of the state or region. Funds may also
be used for other multimedia prevention activities,
including but not limited to: providing direct techni-
cal assistance to businesses for whom lack of informa-
tion is an impediment to source reduction outreach
and identifying regulatory and non regulatory barriers
and incentives for pollution prevention. Pollution
Prevention Incentives for States (PP1S) is intended to
build and support state pollution prevention
approaches and methodologies. The grant program is
focused on institutionalizing multimedia pollution
prevention as an environmental management priority,
establishing prevention goals, providing direct techni-
cal assistance to businesses, conducting outreach, and

-------
The primary purpose of this grant program
is to provide financial assistance to tribal governments
for projects that address environmental justice and
use pollution prevention activities as the proposed
solution. This grant program is designed to fund pro-
jects that have a direct impact on affected communi-
ties. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
is seeking proposals for projects that will encourage
institutionalization and innovative use of pollution
prevention as the preferred approach for addressing
environmental justice issues, and whose activities and
products can be applied to other communities. The
Agency also encourages cooperative efforts with busi-
ness and industry to address common pollution pro
vention goals.
Projects funded under this grant program may involve
public education, training, demonstrations, research,
investigations, experiments, surveys, studies, public-
private partnerships, or approaches to develop), evalu-
ate, and demonstrate nonregulatory strategies and
technologies.
Eligible applicants include any federally-
recognized tribal government. No applicant can have
two grants for the same project at one time under the
Environmental Justice Through Pollution Prevention
(EJP2) grant program. EPA will consider only one
proposal for a given project. Applicants may submit
more than one application as long as the applications
are for separate and distinct projects. However, no
organization will receive more than one grant per EPA
region per year under the EJP2 grant program.
All awardees must also comply with the requirements
of 40 CFR Part 31 "Uniform Administrative
Requirements for Grants and Cooperative Agreements
to State and Local Governments" or 40 CFR Part 30
"General Regulation for Assistance Program for other
than State and Local Governments.''
1 'Iribes seeking funds from the
EJP2 grants can request up to $100,000.
Organizations that apply and receive EJP2 grant funds
in amounts up to and including $50,000 are not
required to match the federal funds. Requests for
grants above $50,000 must match federal funds by
providing 10 percent of the total cost of the project.
The purpose of trie EJP2
grants program is to support the use of pollution pre-
vention solutions to address the environmental prob-
lems of minority and low-income communities and
tribes. Funds awarded must be used to support pollu-
tion prevention projects in minority and low-income
communities on tribal lands. Priority will be given to
those projects that will improve the environmental
quality of affected communities using pollution pre-

;-": -- In its 1992 report, Environmental Equity:
Reducing Risk for All Communities, the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) found that
minority and low-income communities may experi-
ence higher than average exposure to toxic pollutants
than the general population. The Office of
Environmental Justice (OEJ) was established in 1992
to help these communities identify and assess pollu-
tion sources, implement environmental awareness and
training programs for affected residents, and work
with local stakeholders (community-based organiza-
tions, academia, industry, local governments) to
devise strategies for environmental improvements. In
June of 1993, OEJ was delegated granting authority to
solicit projects, select suitable projects from among
those proposed, supervise such projects, evaluate the
results of projects, and disseminate information on
the effectiveness of the projects, and feasibility of the
practices, methods, techniques, and processes in envi-
ronmental justice areas.
The grants program was established to help commu-
nity groups and tribal governments effectively address
local environmental justice issues through active part
nerships with one or more institutions of higher
-------
education. The emphasis of this grants program is on
meaningful, two-way cooperation between communi-
ties or tribes and institutions of higher education serv-
ing minority communities and low-income
communities or tribes in order to address environ-
mental justice issues. Partnerships must be established
with formal agreements (i.e. Memoranda of
Agreements) between at least one college or university
and at least one socio-economically disadvantaged
community which is adversely impacted by an envi-
ronmental hazard. These partnerships become the cat-
alyst for increasing environmental awareness and
involvement in resolving environmental problems,
such as exposure to environmental pollutants in
minority communities and low-income communities
and on tribal lands.
Projects under the Environmental Justice
Community/University Partnership) Grants Program
shall include, but not be limited to:
*J» Design and demonstration of field methods, prac-
tices, and techniques, including assessment and
analysis of environmental justice conditions and
problems which may have a wide applicability
and/or addresses a high priority environmental jus-
tice issue (e.g., socio-economic impact studies).
»{* Research projects to understand, assess or address,
regional and local trends in environmental justice
issues or problems (e.g., monitoring of socio-eco-
nomic change in a community as a result of an
environmental abuse).
»{* Demonstration or dissemination of environmental
justice information, including development of edu-
cational tools and materials (e.g., establish an envi-
ronmental j ustice clearinghouse of successful
environmental justice projects and activities or
teach about risk reduction, pollution prevention,
or ecosystem protection as potential strategies for
addressing environmental justice problems or
issues).
*«» Determine the necessary improvements in commu-
nication and coordination among local, state and
tribal environmental programs and facilitate com
munication, information exchange, and communi-
ty partnerships among all stakeholders to enhance
critical thinking, problem solving, and decision
making.
»}* Provide technical expert consultation and training
for accessing, analyzing, and interpreting public
environmental data, and utilization of electronic
communications technology (e.g., internet and e--
mail) .
*l» Provide for a minimal ''hard science"' analysis capa-
bility (e.g., analyze water and soil samples to test
for basic pollutants, provide radon testing kits,
etc.).
The granting authority is multi-media and the grant
proposal must address at least two of the following
statutes:
Clean Water Act, Section 104(b)(3)
Solid Waste Disposal Act, Section 8001 (a)
Clean Air Act, Section 103(b)(3)
Marine Protection, Research and Sanctuaries Act,
Section 203
Toxic Substances Control Act, Section 10(a)
Projects under this statute are limited to research or
development activities.
Safe Drinking Water Act, Section 1442(b)(3)
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act,
Section 20 (a)
" Projects under this statute are limited to research activi-
ties (e.g., surveys)
Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act, Section lll(c)(10).
" Projects under this statute are limited to hazardous sub
stance detection, assessment, and evaluation, and associ-
ated human health effects and risks.
A maximum of $250,000 will
be awarded to at least four grant recipients, for fiscal
year 1996, depending on the availability of funds.
Work funded by this program is expected to begin
upon award of the grant. All grants under this notice
are expected to be awarded by August 1997.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) holds an annual competition for its Jobs
Through Recycling (JTR) grants. EPAs goal for the JTR
program is to stimulate development of recycling and
reuse businesses that:
»J* Increase the use of recyclable or reusable materials
(recovered materials) that would otherwise be
landfilled or incinerated.
*l» Contribute to economic development and jobs cre-
ation/retention.
States, Native American tribes, and multi-
state, and multi-tribe organizations.
Increase intermediate processing and end-use man-
ufacturing capacity (not collection programs.)
Institutionalize coordination of market develop
merit activities with programs focusing on eco-
nomic growth.
Develop working partnerships with industry
groups, financial institutions, local governments,
universities, and other involved entities.
.'.'.. -.;;' ; ..-. ;././ EPA will require nonfederal
matching funds of at least 25 percent and encourages
matching funds of higher levels. This matching share
of project costs may be provided in cash, in-kind con-
tributions, or other nencash support.
Prcwam Accomplishment: Over three years, from 1994
through 1996, more than $5.7 million in grants have
been awarded to 35 States, five tribes, and two multi-
state organizations. Types of grants funded include:
Recycling Economic Development Advocates (REDAs)
and Recycling Business Assistance Centers (RBACs),
Commodity specific Demonstration Projects, and
Recycling Investment Forums.
Results for first-year grants as of 1996:
Created over 700 jobs.
Created over $200 million in capital investments
in recycling/reuse businesses.
4* Created over 4 million tons per year of recycling
market capacity.
*J* Utilized over 1 million tons of recyclables.
«»» Provided assistance to over 1,700 potential or
existing recycling/reuse businesses nationwide.
nxanipi'es of 1'undecl I'Yo/ec's: The Quechan Tribe of the
Fort Yuma Indian Reservation in Arizona will create a
craft paper making business. The tribe will hand-craft
writing paper from post-consumer paper diverted
from the local waste stream. The tribe will sell this art
product to the 750,000 winter residents of Yuma.
This cottage industry will provide specialized training
and employment to tribal members who currently
face 60 percent unemployment on the reservation.
The Sitka Tribe of Alaska will create a fish and timber
waste composting facility. The high grade composted
product will be bagged and marketed extensively for
use as potting soil, etc.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE SF-424A
General Instructions
This form is designed so that application can be made
for funds from one or more grant programs. In pre-
paring the budget, adhere to any existing Federal
grantor agency guidelines which prescribe how and
whether budgeted amounts should be separately shown
for different functions or activities within the program.
For some programs, grantor agencies may require
budgets to be separately shown by function or activity.
For other programs, grantor agencies may require a
breakdown by function or activity. Sections A, B, C,
and D should include budget estimates for the whole
project except when applying for assistance which
requires Federal authorization in annual or other
funding period increments. In the latter case, Sections
A, B, C, and D should provide the budget for the first
budget period (usually a year) and Section E should
present the need for Federal assistance in the subsequent
budget periods. All applications should contain a
breakdown by the object class categories shown in
Lines a - k of Section B.
Section A. Budget Summary
Lines 1-4, Columns (a) and (b)
For applications pertaining to a single Federal grant
program (Federal Domestic Assistance Catalog number)
and not requiring a functional or activity breakdown,
enter on Line 1 under Column (a) the catalog program
title and the catalog number in Column (b).
For applications pertaining to a single program
requiring budget amounts by multiple functions or
activities, enter the name of each activity or function on
each line in Column (a), and enter the catalog number in
Column (b). For applications pertaining to multiple
programs where none of the programs require a
breakdown by function or activity, enter the catalog
program title on each line in Column (a) and the
respective catalog number on each line in Column (b).
For applications pertaining to multiple programs
where one or more programs require a breakdown by
function or activity, prepare a separate sheet for each
program requiring the breakdown. Additional sheets
should be used when one form does not provide
adequate space for all breakdown of data required.
However, when more than one sheet is used, the first
page should provide the summary totals by programs.
Lines 1-4, Columns (c) through (g.)
For new applications, leave Columns (c) and (d) blank.
For each line entry in Columns (a) and (b), enter in
Columns (e), (f), and (g) the appropriate amounts of
funds needed to support the project for the first funding
period (usually a year).
Lines 1-4, Columns (c) through (g.) (continued)
For continuing grant program applications, submit
these forms before the end of each funding period as
required by the grantor agency. Enter in Columns (c)
and (d) the estimated amounts of funds which will
remain unobligated at the end of the grant funding
period only if the Federal grantor agency instructions
provide for this. Otherwise, leave these columns blank.
Enter in columns (e) and (f) the amounts of funds
needed for the upcoming period. The amount(s) in
Column (g) should be the sum of amounts in Columns
(e) and (f).
For supplemental grants and changes to existing
grants, do not use Columns (c) and (d). Enter in column
(e) the amount of the increase or decrease of Federal
Funds and enter in Column (f) the amount of the
increase or decrease of non-Federal funds. In Column
(g) enter the new total budgeted amount (Federal and
non-Federal) which includes the total previous
authorized budgeted amounts plus or minus, as
appropriate, the amounts shown in Columns (e) and (f).
The amount(s) in Column (g) should not equal the sum
of amounts in Columns (e) and (f).
Line 5 - Show the totals for all columns used.
Section B. Budget Categories
In the column heading (1) through (4), enter the titles of
the same programs, functions, and activities shown on
Lines 1-4, Column (a), Section A. When addi- tional
sheets are prepared for Section A, provide similar
column headings on each sheet. For each program,
function or activity, fill in the total re- quirements for
funds (both Federal and non-Federal) by object class
categories.
Lines 6a-i - Show the totals of Lines 6a to 6h in each
column.
Line 6j - Show the amount of indirect cost.
Line 6k - Enter the total of amounts on Lines 6i and 6j.
For all applications for new grants and continuation
grants the total amount in column (5), Line 6k, should
be the same as the total amount shown in Section A,
Column (g), Line 5. For supplemental grants and
changes to grants, the total amount of the increase or
decrease as shown in Columns (1) - (4), Line 6k should
be the same as the sum of the amounts in Section A,
