NOAA and the Climate Resilience Fund (CRF) announced on October 22, 2001, the results of its 2021 competitive grants program supporting projects that will help U.S. communities build resilience to the impacts of climate change.

The Climate Resilience Fund designed its Coordination and Collaboration in the Resilience Ecosystem grants program to match federal resources 1:1 with private foundation funding. CRF seeks input from the community of climate practitioners each year to guide its investments that support the development of the field of climate adaptation and resilience.

Projects funded through the 2021 grants focus on four priorities - Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, Nature-based solutions to climate change, finance-ready planning, and measures of success - all prioritized  by participants in annual “Resilience Ecosystem” convenings sponsored by CRF and NOAA. Work will be completed on all projects in Spring 2022.
