History of the MTA Fund
As part of a 1998 court settlement between U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and 39 plaintiffs (nonprofit peace and
environmental groups around the country), DOE established a $6.25 million Citizens’ Monitoring and Technical Assessment
Fund (MTA Fund) to provide money to non-profit, non-governmental organizations and Federally recognized tribal
governments working on issues related to the nuclear weapons complex. The Fund was established to help those groups
procure technical and scientific assistance to perform technical and scientific reviews and analyses of environmental
management activities at DOE sites. These grants may also support dissemination of the technical and scientific
reviews and analyses undertaken with monies from the MTA Fund, but cannot be used for litigation, lobbying, general
administrative support, or fundraising.
