Energy Efficiency Block Grants

The Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program (EECBG) provides grants to U.S. local governments, states, territories, and Indian tribes, to fund projects that reduce energy use and fossil fuel emissions, and that improve in energy efficiency. Transportation projects that reduce energy use and emissions including bicycle and pedestrian projects are eligible.

The interesting twist to EECBG is that money is available from several levels of Government. If your municipality doesn't have an allotment then you can request funding from your county and then the state energy office.
