NFWF's funding comes directly from the Extending Government Funding and Delivering Emergency Assistance Act, (PL 117-43) to support projects that increase the resilience of wildlife habitat and coastal communities impacted by hurricanes and wildfires in 2020 and 2021. Under the same authorities as NFWF’s National Coastal Resilience Fund, NFWF will award approximately $24 million in grants through this RFP for practices that help restore wetlands, build living shorelines, improve hydrologic flow, reduce hazardous fuels, and generally enhance natural systems.
The Request for Proposals is officially launched November 17, 2021 and will close on February 3, 2022, when the Full Proposals are due. Due to the emergency nature of these funds, a non-federal match is not required.
The RFP can be found here: https://www.nfwf.org/coastalresilience/emergency/Pages/home.aspx. You can find additional application instructions on the webpage in the “Tip Sheet.”
