About this opportunity
The Bureau of Reclamation is seeking applicants for the Bay-Delta Restoration Program: CALFED Water Use Efficiency Grants for Fiscal Years 2025 and 2026. The program provides cost-share funding for projects that increase water reliability and improve water management in the California Bay-Delta region. Eligible applicants include Indian tribes, irrigation districts, water districts, and organizations with water/power delivery authority located within the CALFED solution area. Projects should align with the program's goals of reducing water losses, achieving statewide benefits, preserving local flexibility, and building on existing water use efficiency efforts. Proposals will be evaluated based on the project's ability to meet these objectives as well as its consistency with the Biden Administration's priorities around climate change and environmental justice. Applications are due by January 31, 2025.
The grant program will provide awards of up to $500,000 per project, with a total of $1.5 million available for FY2025. The Bureau of Reclamation anticipates making 2-4 awards each fiscal year. Projects must include a 50% non-federal cost share and should be designed to be completed within two years of the award.
