Environmental Litigation and Environmental Justice

Whether your organization is facing environmental legal challenges, complex environmental compliance, or simply trying to understand the newest environmental laws, EcoLogix is here to help. Our personnel have decades of environmental regulatory and compliance experience at every level of government and can provide expert advice on a wide range of issues.

 

The recent environmental laws are Environmental Justice laws, stating that certain federal grants must allocate 40% of the benefits of the grants won to disadvantaged communities. This executive order is known as Justice40. EcoLogix can help your organization better understand these new laws and help shape your goals to satisfy them. We can also help with other environmental aspects like review of permits and reports, data analysis, litigation strategies, and others.

Stakeholder Engagement and Relationship Building with Diverse Communities

Many projects fail because a key element of project success – stakeholder engagement – was neglected, undervalued, or poorly timed. An audience that feels ignored will be a frustrated audience. Since our founding, EcoLogix Group has made it a priority to build relationships with diverse voices which have historically been unheard, and whose communities have been overburdened by pollution and often underserved. We believe that all projects benefit when all parties affected by an organization’s decisions are fully informed and engaged and feel that their input is truly valued. When disadvantages communities feel like their input has not been truly valued, EcoLogix Group can expand your capacity to listen and see your relationships with stakeholders developed, nurtured, and strengthened through trusted dialogue.

Public Policy Analysis and Response

It can be difficult to focus and understand pending changes in public policy when you have other responsibilities to manage. EcoLogix Group can track, analyze, and provide recommendations on how your organization should position itself. Taking a strategic, proactive approach to reviewing and identifying new opportunities, or identifying risk in the context of external perceptions, EcoLogix Group keeps its clients ahead of the issues and gives them the opportunity to lead, rather than follow the changes.

Grant identification, research, application support, and administration.

The number of grants available these days can be overwhelming. Grant fatigue is setting in, but funding opportunities aren’t slowing down. With so many grants and opportunities, it can be hard for organizations and companies to keep up with them all, compile winning applications and effectively administer the funding once won.

 

EcoLogix staff are experts in all grant components, and we are ready to help. We keep our finger on the pulse of all current and upcoming federal, state and select local funding opportunities, helping you identify the best grants to apply for. We have a history of writing and compiling large and small winning grant applications, some in a matter of weeks. Our team can get involved and assist in the writing and planning of grant applications or simply review and help submit complete applications. Lastly, we have extensive experience administering federal grants. We have administered DERA, VW, CMAQ programs. Let’s work together to make sure you’re getting your share of the grant money out there.  Our successes have included awards of over $40M in federal grant funds awarded over the last 4 years.
