The Federal Energy and Environment Investment Project (“Project”) is a joint initiative of Portland State University and the Northwest Environmental Justice Center. The project catalogues the patterns in federal grant and loan spending from 2010 to now across the country using the https://www.usaspending.gov/ dataset from the U.S. Department of the Treasury. The project focuses especially on 468 programs that fund energy, environment, and other infrastructure to address some of the most pressing needs communities face today. The project’s analysis looks at where spending flows to states, counties, and congressional districts, and the proportion of spending that flows to rural areas, low income communities, Tribes, and other types of recipients. The project can customize analysis for particular sets of federal grant and loan programs, and produce reports for states, regions, or the nation as a whole.
