ENVIRONMENTAL FINANCE CENTER GRANT PROGRAM
This notice announces the availability of funds and solicits applications from eligible entities for Environmental Finance Centers (EFCs) that provide multi-media environmental finance expertise and outreach to the regulated communities (e.g., states, tribes, local governments, and the private sector)
to help them meet environmental requirements.
The objective is to help the states, tribes, local governments, and private entities find effective and innovative ways to help address the growing costs of protecting public health and the environment in a sustainable manner.
Under this program, EFCs will be established across the nation to provide regulated parties with finance-related training, technical assistance, finance studies, and other analytical support (eligible services) to help them develop solutions to the critical "how-to-pay" issues associated with meeting environmental goals.
The EFCs will educate regulated parties on lowering costs, increasing investments, improving financial capacity, encouraging full cost pricing, and identifying and evaluating financing options.

Keeping Half the Profits Beats Non-profits for Social Impact
Melbourne social enterprise Who Gives A Crap sold nearly 3 million rolls of toilet paper in 2014/15 and gave half the proceeds to WaterAid Australia, but co-founder Simon Griffiths says the donation would have been less had the startup adopted a non-profit model when it launched two years ago.
