Financing Mechanisms
Resources for Schools
An investment in IAQ shows dedication to public health and quality education. However, given tight budgets, schools must use creative funding mechanisms to initiate and maintain school programs, particularly facility improvements. EPA has created an online resource to guide you through funding options for your IAQ projects. Visit www.schooliaqfunding.org for more information.
This resource helps schools and school districts identify potential sources of funding:
- Foundation grants
- System benefit funds
- Tax-exempt leases
- Performance contracting
- Energy efficiency savings
- Bonds
- For information on funding opportunities available from EPA's Office of Air and Radiation (OAR), please visit Air & Radiation's Grants and Funding website.
