Funding Guidelines for Agencies Administering California Climate Investments
Administering agencies must use the Funding Guidelines to develop effective programs and demonstrate compliance with program requirements.
The 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.
The Funding Guidelines assist administering agencies in program implementation including guidance on preparing an Expenditure Record, developing guidelines and solicitation materials, and reporting outcomes from funded projects.
Funding Guidelines Update
CARB is currently in the process of updating the Funding Guidelines and associated materials to clarify existing language, help California Climate Investments programs achieve their goals, and respond to new legislative requirements. Learn more about the update and provide input on potential updates to the Funding Guidelines for agencies that administer California Climate Investments.

CARB developed these quantification and reporting resources to support California Climate Investments programs and projects in complying with reporting requirements as outlined in the Funding Guidelines and transparently estimating GHG emissions reductions, benefits, and other information.
