Rooting Resilience

Rooting Resilience Request for Applications: Tribes & Tribal Organizations. Most recent deadline: October 23, 2024. River Network is excited to announce a funding opportunity for Federally Recognized Tribes and Tribal organizations for planning and implementing small community forestry projects in disadvantaged communities. Free technical assistance is available during both the application process and the grant period, through River Network and our Rooting Resilience partners at Anthropocene Alliance and Native Americans in Philanthropy, to support organizations who are new to federal funding and may need additional help applying for or managing this grant. River Network is an equal opportunity provider. This opportunity is possible thanks to a grant from the Urban & Community Forestry Program of the Forest Service, an agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, under the Inflation Reduction Act (Funding Opportunity #: USDA-FS-2023-UCF-IRA-01). A minimum of $1.4 million in program funding is available specifically for Tribal entities. Match or cost share is NOT a requirement for requesting grant funds. We invite you to reach out to us before this deadline (rootingresilience@rivernetwork.org) to discuss your project and see if it may be a good fit, and to access our free technical assistance (resources listed below) to help you apply.
