EPA Discovers $2 Billion Grant Linked to Stacey Abrams' Nonprofit

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has uncovered a $2 billion grant allocated to Power Forward Communities, a nonprofit linked to Stacey Abrams, despite the organization reporting only $100 in total revenue since its founding in late 2023. This grant, part of the Biden administration's Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, raised ethical concerns regarding the selection process for such large sums, as Power Forward Communities was one of only eight recipients of a total of $20 billion in grants. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin criticized the allocation, suggesting that the organization was created to leverage federal funds without adequate oversight. The award has been described as part of a broader concern about the potential misuse of public funds to benefit political allies. Abrams has been a vocal supporter of green energy initiatives and was involved in the coalition that established the nonprofit. The controversy continues to spotlight questions around the Biden administration's grant distribution practices and their possible political motivations.
