Flood Funding Finder

There are a number of financial assistance options available to communities via government programs at the federal and state levels, financial institutions, land trusts, and nature conservancies. Visit the American Flood Coalition’s Flood Funding Finder to identify federal funding opportunities that align with your community’s mitigation goals.

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. After sifting through hundreds of programs across 26 federal agencies, the American Flood Coalition identified a set of federal funding opportunities that have a clear trend of providing assistance to projects in small communities that address flooding and sea level rise. This interactive tool is primarily targeted toward communities with populations of 50,000 or fewer, but communities of all sizes may find its information helpful.

Special Considerations:

• For some federal financial assistance options, the community can only apply to the grant program via the state, and the application process can take as long as two years.
