Flood Funding Finder

The American Flood Coalition created the Flood Funding Finder—a first-of-its-kind, interactive website—to simplify the complex federal grants system and to help small communities identify and prioritize opportunities to fund flood resilience

As the current administration reviews federal grant priorities and timelines, we encourage those working on project proposals to reach out to federal and state program leads and monitor official federal channels for the latest guidance. AFC is tracking key flooding and resilience programs and will provide specific updates whenever possible.
