These organizations may be able to help you with questions about the funding described on this website. Additional technical assistance for specific funds is listed under “Where can I get more information?” on the pages for those funds. Email us if you learn of other sources of assistance. Following the list of organizations are some other useful resources.
- If you have received Federal funding and it has been terminated or you are concerned about termination, we highly recommend contacting the Environmental Protection Network for assistance.
- The Local Infrastructure Hub (LIH) of the Southeast Sustainability Directors Network has resources to support local governments and community-based organizations working on cross-cutting projects at the intersection of addressing climate impacts and promoting racial wealth equity. Learn more on the LIH website or through this one-pager. The simple application for LIH support is here. Reach out to Nick Deffley if you have questions about eligibility or need guidance.
- Central Pines Regional Council supports county governments, local governments, and nonprofits across Moore, Lee, Chatham, Orange, Durham, Wake, and Johnston Counties in North Carolina.

- Lawyers for Good Government (L4GG) provides a Clean Energy Tax Navigator to help tax-exempt entities access direct pay tax credits. L4GG also offers pro bono assistance to underresourced organizations that need more help after using the navigator.
- South Carolina Electric Transportation Network (SCET Network) is a statewide forum for collaboration among businesses, nonprofit organizations, academic institutions, public agencies, and other entities involved in or supportive of the equitable advancement of transportation electrification in South Carolina. For questions about South Carolina’s electric transportation initiatives and incentives, contact Evan Renshaw with the SCET Network.
- Note regarding technical assistance formerly available from the Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Technical Assistance Centers (EJ TCTACs): As of May 7, 2025, the Cultivating Healthy Environments Program (EJ Thriving Communities Grantmaking Program) has been terminated due to shifts in priorities by the Federal administration. This decision affects grantmaking efforts in EPA Region 4 and across the National Central Region (Regions 4-7). We understand that this has caused a stoppage of work by the TCTACs as well. You may contact the TCTACs listed below but you may not receive assistance.
In Region 4 (including NC and SC), the EPA awarded funds to two organizations to provide technical assistance under the TCTAC program to residents, community organizations, and Federally-recognized Tribes, assisting in developing capabilities and identifying resources for understanding or resolving EJ issues. To find the TCTACs for other EPA regions, check the EPA’s TCTAC page. The two Region 4 TCTACs were:
- The Resource for Assistance and Community Training in Region 4 on Environmental Justice (REACT4EJ) at RTI International.
- The Community Investment Recovery Center (CIRC) at the Deep South Center for Environmental Justice.
