Funding Guidelines

California Air Resources Board

CARB developed the Funding Guidelines to provide direction for agencies that administer California Climate Investments so they design and implement their programs in a way that facilitates greenhouse gas emission reductions, meets statutory requirements, maximizes and benefits to disadvantaged communities, targets investments to disadvantaged communities, low-income communities, and low-income households to help ensure statutory investment minimums are met or exceeded, provides accountability and transparency; and supports consistency across programs.
