The Department of Defense awarded a $10,300,000 Cooperative Agreement to Legacy Philanthropy Works under the Readiness and Environmental Protection Integration (REPI) Program (CFDA 12.017). This 5-year award, with a period of performance from July 31, 2024 to July 31, 2029, supports the organization's efforts to enhance military readiness through land conservation, ecosystem restoration, and the implementation of nature-based solutions to address climate change impacts near military installations.
The key products and services to be delivered under this Cooperative Agreement include acquiring real property interests, implementing flood mitigation and ecosystem restoration projects, and developing climate resilience initiatives. Additionally, Legacy Philanthropy Works will utilize a portion of the funding to build the capacity of state and local governments to implement conservation programs and practices. The organization also participates in sub-grant awards related to the South Atlantic Salt Marsh Initiative, focusing on enhancing and conserving salt marsh habitats to provide storm surge buffering, sea level rise mitigation, and protect local resources and cultural traditions.
