The environment around you can have significant impacts on your health. Any contamination of air, water, soil or edible plants isn’t just an issue for nature - but can lead to severe effects on human well-being in the area. There are many nonprofits who have made it their mission to try and promote better environmental health in places across the globe. But these nonprofits are only able to pursue their missions thanks to the generous funding provided by environmental health grants.

These environmental health grants can be used to cover all kinds of initiatives. These could include identifying environmental toxins, initiatives to clean air and water, community education on environmental health and campaigns for environmental justice and protections. 

There are many organizations that might provide these kinds of grants. Examples traditionally included federal agencies such as National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences or the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. There are also many private foundations in this space, such as the Kresge Foundation or the Rose Foundation. 

When drafting an environmental health grant proposal, it's essential to use accurate and relevant data to back up your claims. This could include rates of environment-related illnesses, local air and water quality indicators, or demographic data on affected populations. Good places to start research could include the Environmental Justice Screening Tool, CDC Environmental Public Health Tracking or the ATSDR Toxic Substances Portal.
