Re: Opening Tomorrow: Lead In Water Remediation Grant

Greetings to our valued education partners,

We are excited to announce we will be accepting applications for the Lead Remediation Grant, a funding opportunity supported by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), starting tomorrow.

Lead In Water Remediation Grant

Lead in Water Remediation Grants will help school districts, education service districts, and charter schools cover the costs of remediating water fixtures with elevated levels of lead. Our goal is to ensure every student in Oregon has access to a safe learning environment.

Key Details

The grant application is open July 1 through October 15. To apply, please submit a Remediation Grant Application.
Grant amounts range from $5,000 to $15,000 depending on district size.
Grants cover the material and labor costs associated with the elevated fixtures.
