Grants
EPA assists states, tribes, and local governments to protect and improve wetlands within their jurisdictions by awarding monetary grants under section 104(b)(3) of the Clean Water Act. Each year, usually in the fall, we announce availability of funds. These funds are awarded on a competitive basis. The application period is now open through May 15, 2015! Click below for the request for proposals (RFP).
Notification of 2015 Changes
Two year grant cycle beginning in fiscal year 2015 (FY15): Region 9 will conduct a biennial Wetland Program Development Grant (WPDG) solicitation for multiple year funding beginning FY 15. This means grant solicitation will go out ONCE every TWO years instead of once a year as it has been in the past. The FY15 WPDG solicitation will cover FY15 and FY16 and the next WPDG solicitation will take place in FY17, covering FY17 and FY18.
Region 9 held a webinar on April 7 regarding the two year grant cycle, the FY15 RFP, and Wetland Program Plans. A recording of the webinar and presentation material has been made available.
