The funding, provided through the Inflation Reduction Act, will enable RTI to serve as a national grantmaker for Regions 4, 5, 6, and 7, distributing subawards to community-based organizations in underserved and disadvantaged areas. RTI will implement a pass-through model to provide financial assistance, capacity building, and technical support to help these communities address environmental challenges and public health issues. The cooperative agreement includes an initial $25 million award in August 2024, followed by the subsequent $95 million award in December 2024, with a project period from January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2027.
