National Fish and Wildlife Foundation’s National Coastal Resilience Fund opportunity is open to almost all entity types, including Tribes, (federally and non-federally recognized), organizations, for- and non-profits, states, educational institutions. It has NO MATCH REQUIREMENTS! NFWF expects that average NCRF awards for projects involving Community Capacity Building and Planning, Site Assessment and Preliminary Design, and Final Design and Permitting to be in the range of $100,000 to $1,000,000. For Restoration Implementation Projects, NFWF expects the average NCRF awards to be in the range of $1,000,000 to $10,000,000. Coastal communities eligible for this fund include all coastal areas of the US, including Great Lakes. “NFWF will make investments in planning, design, and implementation of natural and nature-based solutions. The goal is to enhance protection for coastal communities from the impacts of storms, floods, and other natural coastal hazards and to improve habitats for fish and wildlife. NFWF will award grants to create and restore natural systems to increase protection for communities from current and future coastal hazards and improve habitats for fish and wildlife species.” See more here.
