Funding Opportunities

Tamarisk Related Grant Opportunities

The Tamarisk Coalition has developed a list of available Grant Opportunities to address tamarisk issues and riparian restoration. The tables are divided into three sections:

1. Non-profit Foundations, Corporate, and Other Funding Sources
2. Federal Grants
3. Congress Chartered Foundations. 

State directed funding sources will be added at a later date.

The activities funded by the grantors have been categorized as Advocacy, Education, Policy, Direct Action, Research, and Start Up. The following categories are defined to aid the reader in selecting appropriate grants. Individual grantors may define categories somewhat differently.

• Advocacy (Adv) includes activities associated with communicating about tamarisk issues such as organizing community meetings or distributing public education materials.
• Education (Edu) involves direct education programs to a targeted group.
• Policy (Pol) is defined as activities related to influencing and/or developing environmental policies.
• Direct Action (Dir) includes activities such as volunteerism, control, revegetation, and other direct implementations.
• Research (Res) is defined as planning and implementing basic scientific research.
• Start Up (SU) is defined as funds for a new project (“seed money”) or funds for a new organization.

Additionally, geographic information is included to indicate the physical locations that are emphasized by the grantor.

Grant information is current as of June 2008. Financial information is generally from 2004 or 2005. Blank spaces indicate that no information was available.

Grants and grantors are subject to change at anytime for a variety of reasons. It is critical that the funding sources are contacted for the most current information before any type of submission.
