Capital Assistance Program (CAP)
Program Description
Cities, counties, solid waste management districts and sanitary districts are eligible to receive grants to help finance the capital costs of building solid waste processing facilities. Under the Solid Waste Processing Facilities Capital Assistance Program (CAP), more than 90 grants have been awarded for a variety of solid waste facilities since 1985. The Minnesota Legislature has appropriated nearly $53 million in bond funding for solid waste processing facilities in the state since 1980. During the 2005 Legislative Session, $4 million in bond funds were appropriated for CAP funding.
Requirements
CAP-funded projects must meet very specific criteria to be eligible for state funds. Eligible applicants are limited to local units of government in Minnesota. This includes Minnesota cities, counties, solid waste management districts, and sanitary districts. Eligible projects for CAP grants are solid waste processing facilities with resource recovery. Examples include:
Waste-to-energy facilities.
Recycling facilities.
Composting facilities.
Transfer stations that will serve waste processing facilities.
Projects that reduce the amount or toxicity of waste-processing residuals.
The applicant must have, or be located in a county that has, a comprehensive solid waste management plan approved by the Minnesota Office of Environmental Assistance (OEA). The review process ensures that a project is consistent with the solid waste management activities described in the plan.
Benefits/Compensation
Eligible grant funding will vary based on the type of project.
Recycling or composting facilities: Grants may equal 50 percent of the eligible costs.Other processing facilities: Grants may equal 25 percent of the eligible costs.
Single-county may receive a CAP grant of up to $2 million.
Multi-county projects may receive 25 or 50 percent of the eligible costs, or $2 million multiplied by the number of participating counties, whichever is less.
New transfer stations may receive grants up to 75% of eligible costs if serving an existing resource recovery facility. To be eligible, the project must have an enforceable commitment of at least 10 years and must substantially increase the geographical area served by the resource recovery facility.

FY 2007 Burn Barrel reduction campaign grants
Program Description
The Burn Barrel Reduction Campaign Grant is a competitive application process to identify and assist projects that will be most beneficial in meeting the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency’s (MPCA) mission of working with Minnesotans to protect, conserve, and improve Minnesota’s air, land and water resources. This grant program will also serve to meet the Minnesota Department of Natural Resource’s (DNR) mission to reduce the number of wildfires that are caused due to debris burning. The pollution created from backyard garbage burning (burn barrels, fire-pits, stoves, heaters, etc.) poses significant health and environmental dangers to Minnesotans. In addition, over 40% of all wildfires in Minnesota are caused by careless debris burning such as backyard garbage burning. Therefore, projects that are developed to significantly reduce the amount of burn barrels and backyard garbage burning in Minnesota, will significantly reduce the amount of pollution and wildfire threats that are associated with this practice. Specifically, these grants will focus on projects that reduce the practice of backyard garbage burning through education, infrastructure development, enforcement, and incentive programs. This program aims to encourage the use of local sanitation facilities in place of burn barrels and backyard garbage burning to dispose of garbage safely and to increase recycling and composting. Approximately $150,000 is available for award this Grant Round.
Requirements
These grants are made for the purposes of reducing the number of people who burn waste on-site (burn barrels, fire-pits, stoves, etc.) Any project that can show a reduction in the number of people who engage in this activity is eligible. While we are open to unique approaches to backyard burning reduction initiatives, the four key elements we will focus on will be projects that incorporate one or more of the following four elements:
Education and Social Marketing – Using education or social marketing as a tool to inform and change behavior
Incentives – Providing effective incentives (especially those that work in concert with the private sector) to reduce the number of people who burn waste on-site
Infrastructure – Developing cost-effective solid waste collection infrastructure (public or private) to serve under-serviced rural residents
Enforcement – Developing unique and effective approaches that incorporate education as a support tool towards changing behavior
Benefits/Compensation
Approximately $150,000 is available for award this Grant Round ($50,000 from the MPCA and $100,000 through the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Firewise program). The maximum grant award per project is open, but regional or multi-group projects will receive preference. The applicant must provide a minimum 25% match (dollars or in-kind) of the total project costs or activities. Federal requirements will be attached to the grant agreement.

Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Environmental Assistance Loan Program.
Program Description
Protecting public health, the environment, and the economic viability of businesses can all be achieved through front-end solutions to pollution. To help small- and medium-sized businesses accelerate the application of waste and pollution prevention, and other environmental technologies, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) is partnering with private financial institutions (e.g., banks) to offer commercial loans at substantially reduced interest rates.
The program is set up to allow MPCA to award loans up to a maximum of $100,000 at zero percent interest. The remaining loan funds are supplied by a participating financial institution at competitive market rates. An administrative fee is assessed to each loan to cover administrative and service costs.
Requirements
· Rules governing the loan program allow the MPCA to set limits on the types of projects eligible for loan funds in this Request for Proposals (RFP). As loan funds are limited, priority consideration will be given to small and medium-sized businesses and institutions in Minnesota and to projects related to waste reduction, pollution prevention, and other prevention-based or preventative technologies and practices in Minnesota.
· Waste and pollution prevention projects include, but are not limited to, raw material substitutions, process modifications, inventory control measures, and improved efficiency of machinery. Projects that primarily involve the application of pollution control or waste management technologies, or projects involving used tires, are not priorities for available loan funds.
Proposed loan projects that cannot be principally characterized as waste and pollution prevention projects are eligible, but will be entertained only if funds remain after all other applications for waste and pollution prevention projects have been considered. As funds are repaid, additional loans will be awarded for projects that will improve Minnesota’s environmental and economic quality.
Benefits/Compensation
The maximum amount of funding per project from the MPCA is a $100,000 loan. Program guidelines call for loan funds to be matched by a minimum dollar-for-dollar match (1:1) by loans from a participating financial institution. Applicants may apply for loans exceeding $200,000, however, requested funds in excess of this amount will be provided by the participating financial institution at prevailing interest rates. Applicants are not required to contribute their own funds to the project.

Prime Fund by University of Missouri-Columbia
Program Description
The PRIME Fund provides cost-match support for original scholarship and research at the University of Missouri-Columbia. The General Fund will be used to assist faculty within divisions, departments, and centers by helping with costs associated with research activities. The PRIME Instructional Fund will be used to assist faculty within divisions, departments, and centers to support grant requests that include research and/or scholarship related to instruction.
All PRIME funds (General or Instructional) will be used to cost-match on proposals for new external funding. Matches can be requested for any expenses related to a research project. Presently, MU is focusing on the opportunities in larger federal grants; therefore, funds are intended for use by groups of faculty rather than for single-faculty projects. Interdisciplinary project proposals are particularly encouraged. The use of these funds will reflect the diversity of the research programs at MU.
Requirements
The PRIME Fund (General & Instructional) is intended to help provide cost-match money for external research proposals. PRIME funds are intended to provide cost match with new external funding for any appropriate research expenditures, including but not limited to: equipment, personnel, supplies, travel, consulting, and publication costs. The commitment of PRIME Funds will be exclusively for definitive costs over a finite period of time. For the purpose of the PRIME Fund, the UM Research Board is not considered an external funding source.
Continuation Requirements:
A Faculty Outcome Report needs to be completed or updated with current information for all proposals that contain PRIME budgets before years two, three, four or fives years of cost-matching will be disbursed. Please see the instructions above for how to complete or update a report. In addition, the primary applicant is required to submit a formal request for the funds needed for the next fiscal year. This request may be made via campus mail to 205 Jesse Hall or emailed to melissa@missouri.edu and should be addressed to Melissa H. Baldwin, Office of Research.
Benefits/Compensation
As a general rule, PRIME funds are awarded for up to 25% of the external grant amount (direct and indirect). Requests of PRIME matching funds for grants should generate a greater amount of F&A than is being requested from PRIME. This is not required, and is not possible for equipment grants, but will be a consideration in the evaluation of PRIME requests other than those for equipment purchases. PRIME requests must be equal to or less than the amount requested from Departments and/or Divisions. Applicants should seek the remaining amount needed from the external agency. However, individual and/or program funding circumstances will be considered in determining the fraction of MU cost-match which can be awarded from the PRIME Fund.
