Governor’s Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation · $750K–$4.5M

Nonprofits, public agencies, tribal governments, community-based organizations, and public higher education institutions in California can apply, but only as part of a coalition — every application needs a Lead Applicant plus at least one Co-Applicant. It funds heat-related infrastructure planning and demonstration projects ($750,000–$1.2 million) or implementation of already-planned heat infrastructure ($3 million–$4.5 million). At least 40% of funding is reserved for projects benefiting Disadvantaged Communities, with 10% of that share going to Severely Disadvantaged Communities. Applicants must first submit a Pre-Application Interest Form via Submittable (window closes July 21 or August 11, 2026) before the Full Application is due October 13, 2026.

State Treasurer's Office · Amount varies

California businesses, nonprofits, individuals, public agencies, and tribal governments building or expanding a manufacturing facility involving recycled feedstock, advanced manufacturing, alternative energy, or advanced transportation technologies can apply to CAEATFA for a sales and use tax exclusion on qualifying equipment purchases. This is a tax exclusion rather than a direct cash grant, so applicants should confirm it fits their funding needs; no dollar cap or deadline is specified here.

CA Energy Commission · Amount varies

Businesses, individuals, public agencies, and tribal governments in California may apply for this CA Energy Commission program, which provides cost-share funding to match federal geothermal energy grants (energy, science, technology, and R&D projects). No award amounts or deadlines are listed here, and applicants should consult the program's application manual for full eligibility rules and required documentation.

Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank · Amount varies

Open only to public agencies in California, this IBank program provides infrastructure loans (not grants) ranging from $1 million to $65 million for projects like water/wastewater systems, roads, public transit, and other public infrastructure, with terms up to 30 years and no competitive scoring (first-come, first-served). Applications are accepted year-round. Not open to nonprofits, businesses, or individuals, and requires eventual loan repayment.

CA Energy Commission · Amount varies

Restricted to tribal governments; this California Energy Commission program funds direct air capture and carbon removal technology research, development, and pilot testing. Projects that would benefit petroleum or gas production through enhanced oil/gas recovery are explicitly excluded. No award amount or deadline is listed in the posting.

CA Energy Commission · Amount varies

Available to individuals and public agencies, this program provides state matching funds ('cost share') for specific federal clean-energy funding opportunities listed by the CA Energy Commission — it is not standalone project funding on its own. Applicants generally need to already be pursuing or have won one of the referenced federal opportunities. No fixed award amount or deadline is given here.

CA Energy Commission · Amount varies

Open to businesses, individuals, nonprofits, public agencies, and tribal governments, but only to applicants who have already received (or are applying for) an eligible federal clean energy funding opportunity or qualifying DOE follow-on funding — this program provides matching cost-share funds, not standalone project grants. Retroactive cost share for already-received federal awards is not eligible. No set award amount or deadline is listed; eligibility depends on holding or pursuing a specific federal award first.

CA Energy Commission · Amount varies

Limited to public agencies such as school districts, this program uses federal infrastructure law (IIJA/Bipartisan Infrastructure Law) funds to provide loans and grants through a revolving loan fund for K-12 energy efficiency upgrades and retrofits. It is not open to nonprofits, businesses, or individuals, and funding is contingent on U.S. Department of Energy funds actually flowing through, so terms may change. No specific award amount or deadline is listed.

Environmental Protection · From $5K

This program is limited to local government municipalities in Pennsylvania — businesses, nonprofits, and individuals are not eligible. It provides a revolving loan fund, starting around $5,000, for municipal energy efficiency retrofits, with below-market interest rates that can be bought down to as low as 0%. No maximum award amount or application deadline is listed.

Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery · Amount varies

Open to businesses, nonprofits, and public agencies in California, this program funds loans (not grants) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, particularly landfill methane and upstream manufacturing emissions, with priority benefits for disadvantaged communities. No specific award amount or deadline is listed. Applicants should note this is a loan program, requiring repayment, rather than a non-repayable grant.

Environmental Protection · Amount varies

GELF is open to a broad range of Pennsylvania applicants — businesses, municipalities, nonprofits, schools, tribal organizations, public agencies, and other legal entities — for projects on commercial, nonprofit, multifamily residential, or community-benefiting properties. It finances energy improvements that lower operating costs, and projects must meet defined energy performance targets and demonstrate community benefit, such as supporting housing affordability or job retention. No specific award amount or application deadline is listed, so applicants should confirm current funding limits with the program.

CA Energy Commission · $500K–$5M

Open only to public agencies and tribal governments in California -- nonprofits and private businesses are not eligible under the stated criteria. Provides cost-share funding paired with two federal programs (INDIGO and FPIP) supporting industrial decarbonization, grid reliability, and greenhouse gas reduction at industrial and food production facilities; awards range from $500,000 to $5 million. This is a large-award but narrowly targeted program tied to specific federal solicitations.

CA Energy Commission · Amount varies

Provides state cost-share funding to California businesses, individuals, and public agencies that are applying for a federal DOE clean hydrogen funding opportunity — it is only available alongside an active or pending federal award, not as a standalone grant. Applicants who already received federal funding and want retroactive cost-share are not eligible. No specific award amount or deadline is listed.

Idaho Field Office · Amount varies

This is a Request for Information from the DOE Idaho Field Office, not a funding opportunity; it asks nonprofits (with or without 501(c)(3) status), higher education institutions, state governments, and small businesses to submit comments on nuclear energy research priorities via NEUP.gov. No funding is attached (amount shown as $0), so responding does not itself lead to an award. Eligible respondent types are broad, but this is input-gathering only, not a grant.
