Overview of Selected Federal Funding Programs Available to States
Representatives from the Bureau of Reclamation, Bureau of Land Management, US Forest Service, FEMA, and the USACE will each present a high-level overview of authorized funding programs that may be of interest to state water agencies. Please note that few of these funding programs are currently accepting applications and annual funding availability is subject to the appropriations process. The purpose of the webinar is to describe the types of activities that are eligible for funding under the programs, the typical timeline when applications are accepted, and other considerations for those who may be eligible to submit an application.
