GrantMassachusetts Regional School District Decarbonization Grant — Block 4
Atlas Opportunity Score87/100
Funding$2,000,000 total program funding. Maximum $250,000 per applicant including qualifying adders. Standard project categories generally fund up to 75% of project cost after other available incentives; category caps are $200,000 per site for space conditioning and $150,000 per site for service water heating, battery-powered facilities maintenance equipment, and commercial kitchen equipment. A qualifying Climate and Economic Justice adder can provide up to 100% of the respective category amount after other incentives.
DeadlineBlock 4: March 5, 2027 at 4:00 PM. The PON publishes the time but does not separately label the timezone for this block deadline, so Atlas does not infer one. Funding must remain available from prior blocks.
Required next actionEligible Massachusetts regional school districts should first submit the Superintendent-signed Statement of Interest to Green.Communities@mass.gov and Caitlin.Hart@mass.gov, allowing at least 30 days before the application deadline. After DOER issues a notice to proceed, obtain compliant vendor quotes and submit through the EEA Grants Management System. The program generally requires a 25% project-cost share after incentives, so do not advance an applicant submission without Marc approval unless a verified applicable Climate and Economic Justice adder or other controlling waiver eliminates that cost share.
