Description:
The purpose of this program is to offer financial assistance to communities threatened or adversely affected by mining in the United States and Canada. Projects will address the detrimental impacts to all aspects of community and cultural well-being. The funding agency encourages projects that protect the environment, ecosystems, cultural resources, and community health from mining impacts. This includes projects that may require scientific/legal/technical expertise. Projects must address hard rock/mineral/metal mining issues, such as issues created by gold, silver, iron, copper, zinc, nickel, tin and lead, uranium, placer, and coal mining. Projects may also address legacy, closed, and abandoned mines.
