The Rural Innovation Fund Program, a successor to the defunct Rural Housing and Economic Development (RHED) program, sets aside $25.75 million from the Community Development Block Grant Program for grants to tribes, state housing finance agencies, state community and/or economic development agencies, local rural nonprofits, and community development corporations to address the problems of concentrated rural housing distress and community poverty.
Out of the total $25 million appropriated, $5 million is reserved "to promote economic development and entrepreneurship for federally recognized Indian tribes, through activities including the capitalization of revolving loan programs and business planning and development" and for "technical assistance to increase capacity through training and outreach activities."

February 23, 2011- Webcast to Assist Applicants with Applications Process for Environmental Community Grants (CARE)
EPA is making approximately $2 million available in 2011 to reduce pollution at the local level through the Community Action for a Renewed Environment (CARE) program. CARE is a community-based program that works with county and local governments, tribes, non-profit organizations and universities to help the public understand and reduce toxic risks from numerous sources. Since 2005, CARE has reached 78 communities in several states and territories. A recent evaluation by the National Association of Public Administration (NAPA) recognized the CARE program as a solid tested framework for engaging communities and other stakeholders.
EPA will award CARE cooperative agreements in two levels. Level I awards range from $75,000 to $100,000 each and will help establish community-based partnerships to develop local environmental priorities. Level II awards range from $150,000 to $300,000 each and will support communities that have established broad-based partnerships, have identified the priority toxic risks in the community, and are prepared to measure results, implement risk-reduction activities and become self-sustaining.
Please note that due to appropriation law concerns, until Congress provides separate authorization, EPA can only award CARE Level II cooperative agreements to applicants that have already received CARE Level I cooperative agreements.
Applications for the CARE assistance agreements are due by March 22, 2011, 4 p.m. EST. EPA will conduct three Webcasts to answer questions from prospective applicants about the application process on February 8 and 23, and March 2 from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.

March 14, 2011EPA Awards $600,000 Targeted Watershed Grant to River Network
EPA Awards $600,000 Targeted Watershed Grant to River Network
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded $600,000 to River Network to engage communities and increase citizen connection, understanding, and stewardship of urban waterways. This award was made through the Targeted Watershed Grants Program and is an Urban Waters Capacity Building Grant. Under the grant, River Network will form a partnership with Groundwork USA
to establish and manage a competitive urban watershed subaward program.
River Network will select five to seven subawardees competitively to receive funding (ranging from $30,000 to $70,000) and up to 400 hours of technical assistance for projects designed to strengthen their organization. As part of the grant, River Network will also provide a wider peer-learning network for other organizations working on urban water issues.
The goal is to support a new urban waters movement by building highly capable organizations that are self-sustaining and can carry out programs to protect human health and the environment. The urban waterways in many communities are compromised landscapes, impacted by various sources of pollution and often neglected and ignored. These capacity-building subgrants will provide local organizations, tribal and local governmental with skills and techniques to protect their urban waterways and promote more vibrant, economically sustainable communities. All subawardees will attend the National River Rally in North Charleston, South Carolina on June 3-6, 2011. (http://www.rivernetwork.org/events/national-river-rally-2010).
For additional information on applying to River Network for funding, please contact Diana Toledo (dtoledo@rivernetwork.org) or visit the River Network Urban Waters Capacity Building Grants Request for Proposals. Applications must be submitted by 5:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time, March 14th, 2011.
EPA initiated the Targeted Watersheds Grant Program in 2002 to encourage successful community-based approaches to protect and restore the nation's watersheds. Watershed health is important to providing clean, safe water where Americans live, work and play. Since 2003, more than $50 million has been provided to 61 organizations through EPA Targeted Watersheds Grants.

EPA anticipates awarding a cooperative agreement to continue support to the NTWC for another four years, and assist in developing and completing products in coordination with the NTWC on issues related to ground, surface, and drinking water quality from a tribal perspective.
Elements of the Request for Applications (RFA) are expected to have numerous benefits, including:
- Increased outreach efforts and two-way dialogue among tribes, and between tribes and EPA.
- Tribes identify high-priority issues and matters appropriate for tribal consultation regarding the Safe Drinking Water Act and Clean Water Act programs.
- The completion of studies to improve tribal knowledge and capacity to protect water resources.
- Opportunities for tribes to engage on water issues and increase knowledge and understanding (such as through newsletters, webinars, electronic outreach, or participation in conference calls, meetings and workshops).
Questions from prospective applicants about the competitive opportunity must be received before March 28, 2011, and applications must be received by April 11, 2011.
