All funds for the ARRA GIGP 2009 have been awarded at this time. 

The Green Innovation Grant Program (GIGP) established under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) had a very busy year. During the first year of the program, EFC committed $44.4 million to 49 projects (35 clean water and 14 drinking water). The successful projects were selected from 295 highly competitive applications requesting more than $460 million of funding. 

For the purpose of ARRA 2009 funding via the SRF, green infrastructure included:

• Water efficiency, reuse or conservation- projects that are either part of or serve a water or wastewater utility project;
• Energy efficiency- projects that reduce energy consumption, use renewable energy, or produce clean energy for water or wastewater facilities;
• Green wet weather infrastructure- projects that maintain, restore, or mimic natural systems to infiltrate, evapotranspire, or recycle stormwater; or
• Environmental innovation- projects that manage water resources to prevent or remove pollution in an economically sustainable way.
