Passage of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) - enacted as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) - and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) has resulted in substantial federal investment toward infrastructure and clean energy projects.

Those seeking to go after federal funds directly should check out the Federal Funding Technical Assistance Website for tips on applying for federal grants and to view upcoming sustainability-related funding opportunities.
