Funding Opportunities
The NOAA Community-based Restoration
Program (CRP) is a financial and technical assistance
program authorized under the Magnuson-Stevens Reauthorization Act of 2006, which helps communities implement sound
habitat restoration projects. The CRP awards millions
of dollars to national and regional partners and
local grassroots organizations every year. Under
a competitive review process, projects are selected
for funding based on ecological benefits, technical
merit, level of community involvement, and cost-effectiveness.
Although the CRP program encourages meeting a minimum
one-to-one match, projects have typically leveraged
$3 to $5 non-federal dollars for every NOAA dollar
invested.
