Secure funding to transform abandoned places into community spaces

Restoring contaminated and underused properties takes more than technical remediation planning. It also requires a clear path to funding. Onterris helps organizations secure and manage grants that support assessment, remediation and community revitalization, turning redevelopment goals into fundable, actionable programs.

From early grant readiness assessments through post-award support, we bring structure, clarity and momentum to complex funding efforts. In 2025, Onterris assisted with over 20 EPA grant applications totaling more than $45 million in potential awards, including applications for communities that did not know they qualified or lacked a clear narrative.

why it matters

Funding often determines whether revitalization moves forward

  • Many organizations do not know they qualify for grant programs
  • Align strategic goals and community vision with viable funding paths
  • Strong narratives and complete documentation improve competitiveness
  • Readiness gaps can delay submissions and weaken applications
  • Sustain momentum through post-award management and reporting
  • Effective coordination keeps stakeholders aligned across the grant life cycle
