The Rooting Resilience program provides funding for urban and community forestry projects led by federally recognized Tribes, Alaska Native Corporations/villages, Tribal organizations, organizations working in Tribal communities, and community-based non-profits working in federally designated disadvantaged communities. Funded projects will build equitable climate resilience and access to nature by increasing and improving the condition of a community’s tree canopy to address the challenges of flooding and extreme heat, community health concerns, and access to green jobs. Individual grants will range from $75,000 to $200,000 total, over a 1- 3-year period. Special priority will be given to eligible groups that are seeking federal funding for the first time.
