FY26 Guidelines for Brownfield Assessment Grants (Assessment Coalition Grants)

Agency: Environmental Protection Agency

Assistance Listings: 66.818 -- Brownfields Multipurpose, Assessment, Revolving Loan Fund, and Cleanup Cooperative Agreements

Last Updated: November 20, 2025

The Office of Brownfields and Land Revitalization is announcing the availability of $58.7 million dollars to award approximately 39 cooperative agreements under the Brownfields Assessment Coalition grant program. Assessment Grants provide funding for developing inventories of brownfield sites, prioritizing sites, conducting community involvement activities, conducting planning, conducting site assessments, developing site-specific cleanup plans, and developing reuse plans related to brownfield sites. A portion of the Assessment Grant funding must be used to conduct site assessments. Assessment Coalition Grants are designed for one “lead” eligible entity to partner with two to four eligible entities that do not have the capacity to apply for and manage their own EPA cooperative agreement and otherwise would not have access to Brownfields Grant resources.
