    The FY26 Guidelines for Brownfield Multipurpose (MP) Grants, offered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, provide funding up to $1,000,000 for communities to address hazardous substance and/or petroleum contamination at brownfield sites. Applications are due by January 28, 2026, with an anticipated $20,000,000 available for approximately 20 awards. Eligible applicants include local governments, states, federally recognized Indian Tribes, and nonprofit organizations. Grantees must own the brownfield site(s) where cleanup activities occur and commit to at least one Phase II environmental site assessment and one site remediation. The grants support inventory development, site prioritization, community involvement, environmental site assessments, cleanup and reuse planning, and actual cleanup activities. A key goal is to revitalize brownfield properties, mitigate health risks, and restore economic vitality, with preference given to projects allocating at least 70% of funds to site-specific work, including 25% for remediation. The program emphasizes community engagement, leveraging resources, and addressing the needs of sensitive and disproportionately impacted populations.
