About US
Great Lakes Environmental Justice TCTAC
This hub, one of two serving EPA Region 5, comprising six states and thirty-five Tribal Nations, is led by the University of Minnesota Twin Cities. Our TCTAC partners include: the Midwest Tribal Energy Resources Association (MTERA), one University Extension Office per state, the Community Engineering Corps, the Great Plains Institute, and the Environmental Protection Network. The Great Lakes TCTAC serves remote rural and tribal communities. A community-based organization headquartered in Chicago, Blacks In Green, serves urban Black, Brown, and underserved communities.
Technical Assistance in Wisconsin
The University of Wisconsin-Madison Division of Extension, partnering with CECI, of the College of Engineering, MTERA, and other Wisconsin partners leverage the TCTAC network, resources and expertise to connect Wisconsin's rural and tribal Justice40 communities to federal funding resources and technical assistance made available by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the Inflation Reduction Act, and the American Rescue Plan.
Who We Serve
We help organizations working on community driven solutions in the clean energy transition, environmental health, climate resilience, and workforce development find and apply for the funding they need. We serve underserved and underfunded rural and tribal communities identified under the Federal Justice40 Initiative. These are communities that have been disproportionately burdened by environmental pollution and do not have staff or the resources to apply for environmental, climate or energy-related grants.
