U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 has awarded a grant totaling $25,000 for a community-based environmental justice project in Minnesota. The project award was to:

Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy, Minneapolis, $25,000 to establish a network of community groups to educate about climate justice and health issues in Twin Cities communities of color. Workshops will focus on how to maintain a healthy, energy-efficient home by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, home energy costs and chronic health conditions.

Nationally, EPA has awarded approximately $2 million in grants to organizations working with communities facing environmental justice challenges throughout the country.
