This webinar was offered by the Land Trust Alliance on Tuesday, April 12th 2pm EST to for folks to learn more about the National Coastal Resilience Fund 2022 funding opportunity. Featured speakers included staff from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, Land Trust Alliance, and Kennebec Estuary Land Trust. This webinar was targeted specifically for the land trust community and included time for Q&A.
The National Coastal Resilience Fund is administered by 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. NFWF will award up $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. Eligible geographies include coastal and Great Lakes regions. To learn more about the National Coastal Resilience Fund, click here. Pre-proposals must be submitted by Thursday, April 21, 2022.
