America’s Federal Funding Opportunities and Resources for Decarbonization
This tool is primarily intended to streamline state, local, non-profit, and community efforts to increase understanding of eligible funding, tax credits, and other incentives relevant to your project, goals, and community. The tool focuses on decarbonization efforts, including electricity, transportation, buildings, and resilient energy systems. It does not exhaustively capture federal resources for other topics. Use the filters below to sort available funding sources automatically and focus on the funding sources relevant to your project, goals, and community. Then use the compare feature to select up to 4 programs most relevant to review side-by-side.
Updates
The AFFORD tool will be updated on a monthly basis until otherwise noted. This version of AFFORD was last updated in January 2024.

To provide a tax deduction to some building owners and tenants who place in service energy efficient commercial building property (EECBP) or energy efficient commercial building retrofit property (EEBRP). | Department of Treasury | Internal Revenue Service (IRS) | Beginning January 1, 2023, the deduction is available to: - Owners of qualified commercial buildings - Designers of EECBP/EEBRP installed in buildings owned by specified tax-exempt entities, including certain government entities, Indian tribal governments, Alaska Native Corporations, and other tax-exempt organizations | N/A | The deduction is the lesser of: 1) The cost of the installed property; 2) The savings per square foot calculated as: $0.50 per square foot for a building with 25% energy savings, plus $0.02 per square foot for each percentage point of energy savings above 25%, up to a maximum of $1.00 per square foot for a building with 50% energy savings. The deduction is 5 times the base amount if the project meets prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements. | $5/sq. ft. | Uncapped | N/A | N/A | Under the Inflation Reduction Act, energy savings must be measured against the latest ASHRAE standard affirmed by the Secretary of Treasury at least 4 years before the property is placed in service. EECBP and EEBRP must be installed on or in a qualified building as part of the interior lighting systems; the heating, cooling, ventilation, and hot water systems; or the building envelope. | Beginning in 2023, if local prevailing wages are paid and apprenticeship requirements are met, an increased maximum deduction applies. The maximum amount increases to 5 times the savings per square foot amount. | Governmental and other tax exempt entities should consult with contracted design teams or prospective teams to indicate their interest in leveraging energy efficient designs for buildings they own and maintain. One way to indicate preference or requirement is through requests for qualifications (RFQs) or requests for proposals (RFPs) issued by the entity seeking bids that would intend to leverage this deduction. | Under the Inflation Reduction Act, energy savings must be measured against the latest ASHRAE standard affirmed by the Secretary of Treasury at least 4 years before the property is placed in service. For buildings that begin construction on or after January 1, 2023, and have energy efficient property placed in service on or after January 1, 2027, ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2019 applies. | No | https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/energy-efficient-commercial-buildings-deduction |

Consider creating regional partnerships to leverage financial, marketing, and program administration experience in order to build capacity for localized loans and subgrants. Using this funding to create new hubs for clean energy manufacturing and jobs and offer opportunities to improve distributional equity where communities were previously neglected. | These are highly competitive projects geared at communities with extensive brownfield sites. If structured correctly, these revolving loan fund programs can generate program income from repayment of loans to sustain programs from a few years to decades. | If selected, the lead entity will be the grant recipient and must administer the grant, be accountable to EPA for proper expenditure of the funds and be the point of contact for the other coalition members. In addition, a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) documenting the coalition’s site selection process must be in place prior to the expenditure of any funds that are awarded. The coalition members should identify and establish relationships necessary to achieve the project’s goal. A process for successful execution of the project’s goal, including a description and role of each coalition member, should be established along with the MOA. The purpose of the MOA is for coalition members to agree internally on the distribution of funds and the mechanisms for implementing the cleanup work. $60 million in supplemental funding is available for entities that have an open Brownfield Revolving Loan Fund grant.

Within this program intent, decarbonization strategies may include measures that reduce household energy consumption, including additional energy efficiency improvements, water heater or furnace replacements, or educational materials that may be developed and distributed to LIHEAP recipients. | According to federal LIHEAP guidelines, state grantees must target benefits to households with low incomes. They must cap LIHEAP income-eligibility at (1) no more than the greater of 150% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines (FPG) or 60 percent of the State Median Income; and (2) no less than 110 percent of FPG. They must also give higher benefits to households with the greatest home energy need in relation to household income and number of household members. Grantees also must target benefits to households with members who are elderly, disabled, and/or a young child. The target population of LIHEAP are households who struggle to cover home energy and cooling costs and those with large energy burdens. Beyond these guidelines, state grantees may choose to incorporate other equity metrics. Where appropriate, policymakers may consider the indoor and outdoor air quality improvements that may be associated with reduced energy usage, as well as historic levels of investment in different areas. These may be determined by fuel type, building age, renter/owner status that may contribute to the energy efficiency gap, and other factors. | See program timeline here: https://www.acf.hhs.gov/ocs/policy-guidance/liheap-grantee-deadlines | A 2020 HHS Report to Congress on LIHEAP may be viewed here: https://www.acf.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/documents/ocs/rpt_liheap_congressional_request_for_formula_analysis_fy2020_final.pdf A 2019 Congressional Research Service report on the LIHEAP formula may be viewed here: https://fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/RL33275.pdf | No | https://www.acf.hhs.gov/ocs/low-income-home-energy-assistance-program-liheap |
