REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS

-----------------------------------------

Dear Urban and Community Forestry Partners:

We are pleased to announce the posting of the 2014 National Urban and Community Forestry Challenge Grant Program:  Request for Proposals (RFP)

Due to the continual changes to our end of year grant award due dates, we are shifting the program timeline to allow more time for applicants to apply, and proposals to be reviewed, and awarded.

This year the grant proposals will be due July 15, 2013.    We plan to announce future grant “Requests for Proposals” in January of each year.

The 2014 Urban and Community Forestry Challenge Cost Share Grant Information is posted on the National Urban and Community Forestry Advisory Council’s Website:   www.fs.fed.us/ucf/nucfac<http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTMwNDI1LjE4MTcwNjIxJm1lc3NhZ2VpZD1NREItUFJELUJVTC0yMDEzMDQyNS4xODE3MDYyMSZkYXRhYmFzZWlkPTEwMDEmc2VyaWFsPTE3NTM2MjMxJmVtYWlsaWQ9a2l0dGZwQGFnLmFyaXpvbmEuZWR1JnVzZXJpZD1raXR0ZnBAYWcuYXJpem9uYS5lZHUmZmw9JmV4dHJhPU11bHRpdmFyaWF0ZUlkPSYmJg==&&&100&&&http://www.fs.fed.us/ucf/nucfac>

This year, the National Urban and Community Forestry Advisory Council (NUCFAC) has identified three national grant categories:

1.       Making Urban Trees and Forests More Resilient to the Impacts of Natural Disasters and the  Long-term Impacts of Climate Change

 2.       Green Infrastructure Jobs Analysis

 3.       Utilizing Green Infrastructure to Manage and Mitigate Stormwater to Improve Water Quality

An applicant may apply to more than one category; however they are to use a separate application for each category.

The purpose of these grants is to address national issues. This RFP is not for local or State-wide projects.
