The Office of Brownfields and Land Revitalization is announcing the availability of $107 million dollars for approximately 36 cleanup grants. Cleanup Grants provide funding to carry out cleanup activities at brownfield sites owned by the applicant. The goal of the grant program is to clean up contaminated properties with the aim of facilitating their sustainable reuse.

The FY26 Brownfield Cleanup Grants are a competitive funding opportunity from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that provides money to clean up contaminated brownfield sites—properties previously used for industrial or commercial purposes that may be polluted and need remediation before reuse. The goal is to support environmental cleanup and help communities turn underused, contaminated sites into safe, productive assets

Sites Potentially Eligible for Funding

• Sites that are publicly or privately owned within the United States, including tribal lands.

• Sites where real or perceived contamination from hazardous substances or petroleum has hindered property reuse.

• Sites whose redevelopment has community support and contributes to a broader vision benefiting the community.

• Sites that convert a brownfield property to community greenspaces, such as a park or urban garden.

• Sites in areas where the project will benefit the existing neighborhood and avoid physical or cultural displacement.

• Sites that show a commitment by a unit of government, a nonprofit organization or a community organization to complete the brownfield redevelopment process.

• Sites where the applicant is not a party responsible for the contamination.
