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.

Technical Assistance Toolkit

California Strategic Growth Council

This toolkit is designed to support California state agencies and other public and private funders in developing technical assistance programs that make a meaningful difference in under-resourced communities. Due to historic and continued under-investment, under-resourced communities often lack the staff capacity, partnerships, or resources to secure competitive funding and implement projects and policies. Technical assistance and capacity building support can be pivotal in leveling the playing field and ensuring that State resources go to the communities that need them the most.
