Many businesses use outdated equipment that causes high levels of air pollution. Environmental Initiative connects small business owners with the resources and funding they need to replace equipment and reduce their emissions.

We connect small businesses to information, technical assistance, and grant resources for:

  • Testing and analysis.
  • Equipment costs.
  • Installation, including contractor materials and labor.
  • Essential staff training on new equipment/processes.
  • Commissioning of new equipment.
  • Decommissioning of old equipment.

Grants now available

Environmental Initiative can assist businesses interested in apply for grants with the City of Minneapolis to reduce emissions and save money. The next application deadline is June 2.
