Overview

• The Biden administration awarded $2 billion to Power Forward Communities, a nonprofit linked to Stacey Abrams, despite the organization reporting only $100 in revenue during its initial months of operation.
• The grant was part of the EPA’s $20 billion Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, which was established under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 to support green energy initiatives.
• The funds were parked in an external Citibank account, a move that limits the current administration's ability to reclaim them and raises concerns about oversight and accountability.
• Critics allege that the grant selection process favored politically connected groups, with Abrams serving as senior counsel for one of the coalition's lead organizations, Rewiring America.
• EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin has pledged to investigate the allocation of these funds, citing potential waste and abuse in the program’s administration.
