The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) announced the release of the 2023 Request for Proposals for the National Coastal Resilience Fund (NCRF). The NCRF distributes grant funding to restore and strengthen natural coastal infrastructure that provides a first line of defense for coastal communities and ecosystems from increasing impacts due to rising sea levels and more intense storms.

This year, NFWF expects to invest approximately $140 million in grants to support nature-based coastal resilience solutions. Pre-proposals are due April 12, 2023.

To meet community need and address regional variation, NFWF funds all stages of project development to help grantees move projects through a pipeline from planning to implementation:

  • Community Capacity Building and Planning
  • Project Site Assessment and Preliminary Design
  • Project Final Design and Permitting
  • Project Restoration Implementation

Projects must be located within the coastal areas of U.S. coastal states, including the Great Lakes states and U.S. territories. The full Request for Proposals can be found here.
