First Nations Development Institute: Advancing Tribal Nature-Based Solutions Grants
Deadline: May 22, 2024
Tribes and Native communities are on the front lines of climate change, experiencing extreme weather, rising sea levels, extended drought, warming temperatures, and melting permafrost. Many tribes and Native communities are located in remote and coastal locations,
which increases their vulnerabilities to flooding and wildfire. Furthermore, subsistence and cultural practices rely on healthy ecosystems that are stewarded by Native peoples.
To support climate action that addresses adaptation and disaster preparation, First Nations established the second project under its newly created Climate Initiative, Advancing Tribal Nature-Based Solutions. This project is designed to provide tribes and Native
nonprofits with resources to support climate action that addresses adaptation and disaster preparation (e.g., wildfires, flooding, drought) through the application of nature-based solutions based on Native knowledge. First Nations expects to award six (6) grants
up to $200,000 each to eligible tribes and organizations. For additional information and/or to apply, please visit:
