Performance Partnership Grants

States and Tribes can combine funds from two or more eligible grant programs into a PPG. A key benefit of the PPG is that it requires only one application and one budget, regardless of the number of eligible programs included in the PPG. Applicants are not required to submit separate budgets for each individual program when funds are included in a PPG. Additionally, a PPG is managed through one consolidated work plan for all programs that are included in the PPG. There are currently 18 grant programs that have been determined as eligible for inclusion in a PPG. For a list of eligible programs, which include competitive and/or non-competitive grants, please visit www.epa.gov/the NEPPS. website at https://www.epa.gov/NEPPS The agency supports the goals of Performance Partnership Grants (PPGs) which serve to: (1) strengthen partnerships between EPA and recipients through joint planning, priority setting, and efficient and effective management of resources; (2) provide states, Tribes, and interstate agencies with flexibility to direct resources where they are needed to address environmental and public health priorities; (3) link program activities more effectively with environmental and public health goals and environmental outcomes; (4) foster implementation of innovative approaches such as pollution prevention, ecosystem management, and community-based environmental protection strategies; and (5) provide savings by streamlining administrative requirements.
