About this opportunity
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is offering Fiscal Year 2024 Tribal Wetland Program Development Grants (WPDGs) to assist tribal governments and intertribal consortia in developing or refining tribal programs to protect, manage, and restore wetlands. The grants support projects that develop or refine tribal wetland programs, with a focus on incorporating climate change and environmental justice considerations. Eligible applicants are federally-recognized tribes and intertribal consortia. The EPA will evaluate applications based on factors such as technical merit, transferability of results, and alignment with the agency's strategic plan. The application deadline is 11:59 PM ET on October 1, 2024.
The EPA anticipates awarding approximately $3.8 million in federal funding, with up to $2.8 million for Track One: Wetland Program Plan (WPP) applicants and $1 million for Track Two: Non-WPP applicants. Award amounts are expected to range from $80,000 to $250,000 per project, with a maximum federal share of 75%. The grants are part of the EPA's Regional Wetland Program Development Grants program, which aims to increase the quantity and quality of wetlands in the United States.
Synopsis
Tribal Wetland Program Development Grants (WPDGs) assist tribal governments and intertribal consortia to develop or refine tribal programs which protect, manage, and restore wetlands. All applications submitted under the funding opportunity must be for projects that develop or refine Tribal wetland programs. Tribes and intertribal consortia are eligible to compete under the funding opportunity. States, territories, interstate organizations, local governments, and nonprofit organizations are not eligible to compete. The goals of the wetland program include increasing the quantity and quality of wetlands in the U.S. by conserving and restoring wetland acreage and improving wetland condition. In pursuing these goals, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) seeks to develop the capacity of all levels of government to develop and/or refine effective, comprehensive programs for wetland protection and management. In addition to developing and/or refining wetland protection and management programs, the EPA seeks to build wetland programs that incorporate climate change and environmental justice considerations. Please see the funding opportunity for more information.
