Summary
This funding opportunity supports projects that strengthen the health and resilience of coastal environments, particularly in regions located along the shoreline areas of one western U.S. state. The program is designed to help organizations protect land, restore sensitive habitats, and ensure long-term conservation of natural areas that benefit communities, wildlife, and local ecosystems. Funding is available on an annual basis, offering a consistent opportunity for eligible groups to take part in preserving valuable environmental resources.
The grants generally support activities such as acquiring land for conservation purposes, enhancing or restoring habitat, or managing natural areas to maintain ecological integrity. Award amounts typically range from about fifty thousand dollars to as much as one million dollars, depending on the scope and scale of the project. The total pool of available funding for each cycle generally falls between seventeen and twenty million dollars, allowing multiple projects to receive support each year. Because the funding is competitive, applicants are encouraged to contribute a portion of the project cost through matching resources.
Eligibility is somewhat structured, as official applications must come from a public entity within the state; however, partnerships are encouraged. Nonprofit organizations, tribal groups, local governments, conservation associations, and similar partners may participate by collaborating with an eligible lead applicant. Individuals and for-profit businesses are not typically direct recipients, though they may contribute expertise or services as part of broader project partnerships.
The geographic focus is limited to coastal and near-coastal regions within the designated state, ensuring that supported projects directly benefit waterways, wetlands, and shoreline ecosystems. Funds are intended for activities that promote long-term conservation outcomes, helping communities protect natural landscapes, improve ecosystem functions, and preserve important coastal habitats for future generations.
