• Leasing?
Funding Strategies 101
6
•Competitive- Multiple entities vying for a limited amount of funding (e.g. Clean Cities Petroleum Reduction)
•Formulaic- No competition; distributed based upon established percentages (population, etc.)
(e.g. Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant EECBG)
•Categorical- For specific projects, may require match•Block- Formulaic grants, as provided to states for further award •Earmark- Awarded through legislation
