About this opportunity
The Department of the Treasury is soliciting applications for RESTORE Act Direct Component Non-Construction Activities grants with an application due date of October 31, 2026. Eligible applicants are limited to the four Gulf Coast states (Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi), 23 Florida counties, and 20 Louisiana parishes—a restrictive statutory category that cannot be expanded. This is a noncompetitive program; applications are evaluated for completeness and compliance with the RESTORE Act, Treasury regulations at 31 CFR Part 34, and demonstrated ability to administer awards successfully.
Eligible non-construction activities include restoration and protection of natural resources, ecosystems, fisheries, marine and wildlife habitats, beaches and coastal wetlands; mitigation of damage to fish, wildlife, and natural resources; implementation of federally approved marine, coastal, or comprehensive conservation management plans including fisheries monitoring; workforce development and job creation; improvements to state parks in coastal areas affected by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill; infrastructure projects benefitting economy or ecological resources including port infrastructure; coastal flood protection and related infrastructure; promotion of tourism in the Gulf Coast region; promotion of seafood consumption from the Gulf Coast; planning assistance for the Multiyear Implementation Plan; and administrative costs. Activities 1–7 must occur in the Gulf Coast region. Projects may include non-federal cost-share for another federally funded project or program.
Treasury commits to approve or disapprove complete and compliant applications within 120 days of receipt. For projects designed to restore or protect natural resources, Treasury assesses whether the applicant demonstrated reliance on best available science. Awards are announced and distributed on a rolling basis as applications are approved. For construction activities or acquisition of real property requiring federal or state permits, applicants must use a separate FOA (GR-RDC-25-002). The program operates under CFDA 21.015.
