There are two main categories of funding from RPIRG....
Working Groups
(WGs) are often referred to as the heart of a PIRG. WGs are semi-autonomous groups of students and community members who organize around specific issues of environmental and social justice. These groups operate on a consensus-based decision making model, which aims to reduce as much as possible the coercive elements often times present in other decision making models. Upon approved application, a Working Group will receive: support and funding of up to $500 per semester, space on the RPIRG webpage, access to office resources, networking access, and are still able to apply for Project/Event funding.
Application forms can be found HERE.
Check out some examples of other PIRG's working groups:

SFPIRG: Climate Change Action Group
OPIRG McMaster: Community Volunteer Action Group

Porject funding is designed to fund individuals or groups who plan to carry out a project or event with specific start and end dates.
