2024 National Coastal Resilience Fund Request for Proposals
On February 22, the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF), in partnership with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), DOD REPI Program, Occidental, and Shell, announced the release of the 2024 National Coastal Resilience Fund (NCRF) Request for Proposals (RFP). The NCRF focuses on projects that increase protection for communities from coastal hazards, such as flooding and erosion, while enhancing coastal habitats vital for fish and wildlife. Since 2020, the REPI Program has contributed funding to NCRF projects that improve military installation resilience to coastal climate impacts.
Through the 2024 NCRF, NFWF will distribute $140 million to create or restore natural systems in order to increase protection for communities from coastal hazards, such as storms, sea- and lake-level changes, inundation, and coastal erosion, while improving habitats for fish and wildlife species. As a key partner on the NCRF, the REPI Program is pleased to contribute up to $15 million of the $140 million to NCRF projects that benefit military missions, increase military installation resilience to extreme weather events, and help defense communities adapt to climate change.
The 2024 NCRF RFP is now closed.
