🌿 The Nature Conservancy’s 2025 Climate Resilience Grant Program
The Nature Conservancy is pleased to announce a fifth round of funding available in New York through our Climate Resilience Grant Program. This initiative offers grants of up to $50,000 to support conservation and climate adaptation projects.
Program grants will help local organizations with fee and easement acquisitions of lands that connect with important floodplains and shorelines that mitigate flooding and erosion. The grants will also provide funding for organizational capacity-building, planning and strategy development. We will prioritize projects that include engagement with and benefits to local communities, particularly in underserved and frontline communities.
Project types:
The Climate Resilience Grant Program invites applications for two types of projects:
- Projects that strengthen an organization’s planning, capacity or strategy initiatives that will ultimately lead to actions that will help make species, habitats and communities more resilient to climate change.
- Projects that result in the permanent fee or easement acquisition of lands that contain or intersect with floodplains; coastal sediment sources and natural, protective infrastructure like beaches and dunes; or tidal marshes and marsh migration corridors. These Resilient Floodplains and Shorelines features are shown on the program’s online map viewer.
Who can apply?
New York-based, non-profit conservation and community organizations, municipalities, local and state agencies, Tribal Nations and affiliated entities are eligible for grants.
Deadline to apply: 7 February, 2025
