The Just Transition Fund will provide funding and technical assistance to help coal communities submit competitive federal applications for community-led transition projects. Priority will be given to projects that are led by and serve low-income and Black, Indigenous, and People of Color communities most impacted by the transition.
Projects should demonstrate significant potential to create local economic impact and to serve as models that can be replicated and scaled, such as:
- Community economic development projects focused on promising sectors
- Workforce development projects that train coal affected workers and community members for jobs in sustainable sectors
- Initiatives designed to improve broadband access and affordability
Funding may be used for a variety of purposes to support the development of a federal application, including to:
- Engage expert technical resources for research, analysis, and/or grant writing
- Organize or deepen inclusive community partnerships
- Conduct stakeholder engagement and support community planning
- Qualify as private matching funds
Eligible applicants are frontline coal communities in the priority states.
Grants up to $25,000
Technical assistance is provided at no cost.
Links to additional guidance, application instructions, and the online application form are available on the program website.
