Rooting Resilience: Funding and Technical Assistance for Urban and Community Forestry Projects

River Network is thrilled to release a funding opportunity for urban and community forestry projects led by:

  • Federally recognized Tribes, Alaska Native Corporations/villages, Tribal organizations, organizations working in Tribal communities
  • Community-based non-profits

The Rooting Resilience Program will provide funding and technical assistance to community-based projects that build resilience and enhance communities’ abilities to plan and carry out forestry projects. This opportunity is available for projects located in federally designated disadvantaged communities, including urban, suburban, and rural communities in the United States and its territories. Special priority will be given to community-led groups that are seeking federal funding for the first time. Funding for this project is provided by the Inflation Reduction Act and the USDA Forest Service, Urban and Community Forestry Program. USDA and River Network are equal opportunity providers and employers.

River Network anuncia una oportunidad de financiamiento para proyectos forestales urbanos y comunitarios dirigidos por:

  • Tribus reconocidas por el gobierno federal, corporaciones/aldeas nativas de Alaska, organizaciones tribales, organizaciones que trabajan en comunidades tribales
  • Organizaciones comunitarias sin fines de lucro

El Programa de Resiliencia de Enraizamiento (Rooting Resilience Program) proporcionará financiación y asistencia técnica a proyectos comunitarios que desarrollen la resiliencia y la capacidad de las comunidades para planificar y llevar a cabo proyectos forestales. Esta oportunidad está disponible para proyectos ubicados en comunidades desfavorecidas designadas por el gobierno federal, incluidas comunidades urbanas, suburbanas y rurales en los Estados Unidos y sus territorios. Daremos prioridad especial a los grupos dirigidos por la comunidad que buscan fondos federales por primera vez. La financiación de este proyecto procede de la Ley de Reducción de la Inflación (IRA en inglés) y del Programa de Silvicultura Urbana y Comunitaria del Servicio Forestal del Departamento de Agricultura de Estados Unidos. El USDA y la River Network son proveedores y empleadores que ofrecen igualdad de oportunidades.

Any geographic area within Tribal lands is included in this definition, including Alaska Native Allotments; Alaska Native Villages; American Indian Reservations; American Indian Off-reservation Trust Lands; and Oklahoma Tribal Statistical areas.
