Supporting Community-Based Recovery from the COVID-19 Pandemic

For this grant cycle, the CEC is calling for proposals from organizations to support environmental initiatives that help North American communities implement solutions and strengthen their capacities to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The NAPECA grant program aims to support an equitable, clean, and sustainable recovery in North America by helping communities, particularly the most vulnerable populations, such as some Indigenous peoples and marginalized groups, build back better and become more resilient to future threats.
