Summary
This funding opportunity centers around a large-scale resilience investment program focused on supporting infrastructure and hazard mitigation projects that reduce disaster risk and strengthen community resilience. Unlike traditional small grants, this program is designed to support major capital projects that address long-term challenges in areas such as water systems, energy infrastructure, transportation networks, communications systems, and resilient housing. The intent is to help communities, regions, or jurisdictions build or retrofit critical assets so they are better able to withstand natural and human-made hazards and to support sustainable economic opportunities over time.
The funding is available to eligible public entities or partnerships that can propose substantial projects with broad societal benefits. This typically includes state and local governments, regional authorities, or other large-scale public or quasi-public organizations that have the institutional capacity to manage complex infrastructure work. In some cases, collaborative proposals that bring together multiple entities may be considered, especially where a single applicant does not meet minimum project requirements on its own. Nonprofit organizations or individual small groups are generally not the primary audience for this fund in its core form, as the focus is on infrastructure of a scale that goes beyond typical nonprofit project budgets.
Award sizes under this opportunity are very large compared with many community grants. Projects seeking support through this program usually start in the hundreds of millions of dollars and can scale much higher, reflecting the scope and ambition of the work being funded. The program is structured as an investment vehicle rather than a traditional reimbursable grant, and it aims to deploy debt-free capital to help catalyze transformative resilience efforts without adding repayment burdens to participating communities.
The geographic reach of the fund is broad, with potential applicability anywhere that meets established eligibility criteria, including locations with defined credit ratings or those working through partnered entities. While the application framework emphasizes technical and financial capacity, the overall goal is to foster equitable access to resilience capital, particularly for historically underserved and hazard-vulnerable regions, helping communities prepare for, adapt to, and recover from disruptive events in a more secure and sustainable way.
