Clean air and water are essential to public health, and the health of our environments at large. Poor air and water quality can have direct implications on your health. And yet air and water quality is likely to worsen across many parts of the world. There are many nonprofits that are involved in these spaces, working to ensure a healthy atmosphere and environment for all. 

These nonprofits are only able to do their work thanks to the generous funding provided by water and air quality grants. These grants can be used for all kinds of initiatives. These could include monitoring air or water pollution, implementing clean air and water education campaigns and providing community access to safe drinking water. 

There are many different organizations that might provide these kinds of grants. Traditionally, this included federal agencies such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. There are also private foundations involved in this space, such as the  Pisces Foundation. 

When drafting a water or air quality grant proposal, it is essential to use scientific data to back up your claims. Relevant data will naturally include measures of air and water quality in the relevant regions and communities. You may also be interested in data on health impacts related to air and water quality ,as well as access to clean drinking water. Good places to get started accumulating this data could include the EPA’s data on air quality and water quality.
