Opportunity Information: Apply for EPA REG1 WPDG 23 01
The FY23 and FY24 Region 1 Wetland Program Development Grants is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) intended to strengthen wetland protection and management programs. The core purpose is to help increase both the quantity and the quality of wetlands across the United States by supporting efforts that conserve and restore wetland acreage and improve overall wetland condition. Rather than focusing only on on-the-ground restoration projects, the emphasis is on building and improving the capacity of governments and partner entities to run effective, comprehensive wetland programs over the long term.
A major focus of the opportunity is program development: helping all levels of government develop, refine, and implement stronger systems for wetland protection and management. This can include improving policies, planning approaches, assessment and monitoring capabilities, and other programmatic tools that allow wetlands to be better protected, tracked, and managed over time. The solicitation also highlights national priorities that encourage applicants to integrate climate change and environmental justice considerations into wetland program work. Specifically, EPA signals that funded programs should be built or improved in ways that incorporate climate change considerations (such as resilience, adaptation, and future conditions) and align with Justice40 principles by ensuring that the benefits of federal investments reach communities that have been historically underserved or overburdened by pollution.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity is offered by the EPA under Funding Opportunity Number EPA REG1 WPDG 23 01 and falls under the environmental funding activity category. Awards may be made as grants or cooperative agreements, meaning some projects may involve more active EPA engagement depending on the award structure and project needs. The program is associated with CFDA number 66.461. The notice was created on August 28, 2023, with an original application closing date of November 22, 2023. The agency anticipated making about 20 awards, with an award ceiling listed at $2,722,000. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with the expectation that applicants consult the announcement's eligibility section for the specific categories and requirements that apply.
Overall, this grant opportunity is designed to help applicants in EPA Region 1 build stronger wetland programs that can protect and improve wetlands more effectively, while also modernizing those programs to address climate impacts and to deliver fair and meaningful benefits consistent with environmental justice goals.Apply for EPA REG1 WPDG 23 01
