The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF), in partnership with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the U.S. Department of Defense, Occidental, Shell and TransRe, and with additional support this year from the Bezos Earth Fund, is now soliciting Pre-Proposals for the 2022 National Coastal Resilience Fund. The Request for Proposals is available here.
NFWF will award up to $140 million in grants to create and restore natural systems in order to increase protection for communities from coastal hazards, such as storms, sea- and lake-level changes, inundation, and coastal erosion, while improving habitats for fish and wildlife species. NFWF prioritizes projects that are community led or incorporate direct community engagement and benefit underserved communities facing disproportionate harm from climate impacts.
This year, the National Coastal Resilience Fund will invest in projects in four project categories:
- Community Capacity Building and Planning
- Site Assessment and Preliminary Design
- Final Design and Permitting
- Restoration Implementation
How to Apply
Pre-proposals must be submitted through NFWF’s Easygrants system no later than Thursday, April 21, 2022. An informational webinar has been scheduled for next Wednesday, March 30, 2022 3:00-4:30pm ET to provide an overview the National Coastal Resilience funding opportunity. Applicants are strongly encouraged to participate and can register for the webinar here.
