Funding pattern

What this funder pays for, at what size, and how to position adjacent work. Read from their filings, with every number checked against the record.

Where the money goes

  • Coastal marsh, oyster reef and shoreline restoration on the Gulf
  • Salmon, steelhead and trout habitat in rivers and estuaries
  • Grassland, prairie and sagebrush habitat for birds and game species
  • Chesapeake Bay watershed stream, buffer and nutrient work
  • Named species recovery: sage-grouse, sea turtles, saltmarsh sparrow, ferrets
  • Water rights, leasing and flow transactions in western basins

Typical grant

Median grant is about $77,000, with the middle half between $29,000 and $199,000. The eight-figure checks go almost entirely to state agencies, parishes and county commissions doing Gulf coastal restoration construction, much of it flowing from post-spill settlement money; the $50,000 to $500,000 range covers nonprofits, tribes, conservation districts and universities doing design, monitoring and on-the-ground restoration. With 3,150 grants to 1,991 recipients over three years, many organizations show up more than once, and large multi-phase projects clearly get renewed.

Their words

Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.

  • habitat
  • restoration
  • restore
  • resilience
  • watershed
  • living shoreline
  • working lands

Positioning adjacent work

  • Name the target species and the acres or stream miles restored, the way their own grant titles do.
  • Ask in the $150,000 to $800,000 band for research, monitoring, design or planning components.
  • Attach to an existing landscape effort: Chesapeake, Gulf coast marsh, Great Plains grasslands, Pacific salmon.
  • Partner with a state agency, tribe or local government; those are the largest and most frequent recipients.

Worth knowing: Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas and Florida absorb the largest single awards through coastal settlement-driven restoration, so raw grant counts in California and Pennsylvania hide where the money concentrates. Big national partners like Ducks Unlimited, The Nature Conservancy, Trout Unlimited and Audubon recur, and pure research is funded mainly when it monitors or designs a restoration project rather than standing alone.
