Description
The Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) offers Professional Service/Other Grants within its Solid Waste Management Grant program. The grants support nonprofit service provision and projects that do not fit other grant categories, including one-time cleanups, multifaceted projects, technical assistance, and facility startup support. The program serves DEQ’s responsibility to prevent, control, and abate solid waste pollution that threatens human health or the environment.
Projects may directly manage solid waste or support solid waste management objectives through other work. Applicants describe the environmental benefits, communities served, public outreach and education, partnerships, and plans for sustaining the project. Funded work is documented through monthly invoices, project-specific metrics, photographs, and descriptions of work completed.
