National Clean Investment Fund obligations tagged to Maryland
Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund: National Clean Investment Fund (CFDA 66.957) obligations tagged to Maryland total $8,970,000,000 on USAspending.gov across 2 awards. Two vehicles carry nearly nine billion dollars. The join is an EPA climate-finance Catalog number plus an MD place-of-performance tag. It is not a count of Maryland heat pumps, and it does not prove the money stays inside Maryland’s borders. Two NCIF awards coded to Maryland can be headquarters geography; $8,970,000,000 is not a Maryland county climate budget.
Key figures
- Maryland NCIF (CFDA 66.957): $8,970,000,000 on 2 USAspending awards.
- Each implied vehicle is $4,485,000,000; recipients are not named in the packet.
- An MD tag can be headquarters geography, not in-state project geography.
- Cite obligations, not emissions reduced; no fiscal year is attached.
- The join is 66.957 × MD, not Maryland’s climate budget.
Two awards, eight-point-nine-seven billion
Keep USAspending rows labeled GREENHOUSE GAS REDUCTION FUND: NATIONAL CLEAN INVESTMENT FUND whose geography is Maryland (MD). Two awards remain. They sum to $8,970,000,000. The National Clean Investment Fund is a Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund competition that selected national nonprofit financiers. Prime awards can be coded to the recipient’s headquarters state even when deployment is designed to be national.
The implied mean is $4,485,000,000 per award. That is vehicle size, not a typical Maryland project. The packet does not name the two recipients. This page will not invent them.
Maryland federal spending is every CFDA on MD. CFDA 66.957 is the national program file. Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund: National Clean Investment Fund in Maryland is the overlap. Maryland programs and All spending ties are the indexes.
EPA’s National Clean Investment Fund selected national nonprofit financiers. Prime awards often follow the recipient’s legal address. An MD tag therefore needs the headquarters caveat in the same sentence as $8,970,000,000.
The District of Columbia 66.957 cell in this slice is one award of $5,000,000,000. Do not add the two cells as ‘Chesapeake climate finance.’ They are two place-of-performance tags on the same Catalog number.
Headquarters geography versus where capital is deployed
Place-of-performance on a national finance award often follows the prime recipient’s address. An MD tag can mean the financier is coded to Maryland, not that $8,970,000,000 of clean-energy work occurs in Maryland counties. Deployment in other states would still sit in this cell if the prime award carries MD. Maryland projects funded under a D.C.-tagged prime would sit on the District cell instead.
Other Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund Catalog numbers — for example competition windows that are not 66.957 — are outside this join. Do not add them into $8,970,000,000.
Two awards are the thinnest texture in this slice besides the single-award District cell. Thin is not ‘efficient.’ It means the prime file is coarse.
Subawards to project sponsors in other states can sit behind an MD-coded prime. This packet does not explode subawards. Deployment maps are a different dataset.
Obligations versus emissions reduced
Quote $8,970,000,000 as USAspending obligations for CFDA 66.957 in Maryland. Do not quote it as tons of carbon avoided or as loans already closed with borrowers. Outlays, subawards, and climate outcomes are other systems.
No fiscal year is in the facts. Do not attach one. Cite USAspending.gov CFDA aggregates by place of performance state.
Greenhouse-gas outcomes, if published, live in EPA or recipient reports. They are not USAspending obligation columns.
Do not treat this as Maryland’s climate budget
State energy-office programs, utility regulation, and other EPA grants use other Catalog numbers. $8,970,000,000 is not Maryland’s climate budget. Correlation with other Maryland program cells is not causation.
This packet does not split the two awards by county. A Baltimore story and a suburban-Maryland story would over-interpret an MD tag that may be a headquarters code.
Baltimore and the Maryland suburbs of D.C. share MD. A county climate story would over-read a two-row headquarters-style file.

Maryland has many other CFDA cells. None of them is this two-award climate-finance join unless the number is 66.957.
