Utah State University Extension has partnered with Montana State University to create the Environmental Technical Assistance Resource Center, aimed at empowering under-resourced communities to access vital Environmental Protection Agency \(EPA\) funding. This initiative is particularly noteworthy as it focuses on supporting rural communities facing pressing challenges like air and water quality, food security, and the effects of climate change. For instance, local leaders can now navigate grant funding to launch projects that address these critical issues. Imagine community leaders, seeking a sustainable path for their neighborhoods, struggling with grant applications or unaware of available resources. The center's new programs, including urban farming initiatives and workforce development for youth, can significantly transform these scenarios. As Austin Holmes, the community resource and engagement specialist leading the initiatives, mentions, the aim is to bridge the gap between federal resources and local needs. While many may wrestle with access to these funds, the center assures support for communities eager to initiate impactful projects. What are your thoughts on these initiatives? How can we further empower our communities to tackle environmental challenges? 🌍 Let's engage and share insights or experiences related to community-driven environmental efforts! \#GetGreen \#CommunityEmpowerment \#Sustainability https://lnkd.in/dAuC-GE5

When seeking funding, individuals and organizations within underinvested rural communities and Native nations often need to adopt and adhere to specific language, processes, practices, and measures of success to conform to funder expectations and systems. But what if these systems were flipped? What if these funders—who are, after all, supportive of projects tailored to community needs—learned to understand the language, processes, practices, and priorities of people in those communities? A new report by the Aspen Institute Community Strategies Group focuses on precisely that. The report highlights how two very different organizations—the Imperial Valley Wellness Foundation and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Agency National Environmental Justice Advisory Council—are learning to work in true partnership with the communities they serve.
