Hurricane Sandy Coastal Resiliency Competitive Grant Program

The Hurricane Sandy Coastal Resiliency Competitive Grant Program (Hurricane Sandy Program) was designed to restore key habitats and bolster natural systems, enabling them to withstand the impacts of future storms. The Program funded 78 projects in 12 states and Washington, D.C., with the bulk of projects in states hardest hit by the hurricane, including: New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia. The Hurricane Sandy Program is no longer active. Applicants seeking grants for coastal resilience projects are encouraged to consider the National Coastal Resilience Fund, and NFWF’s regionally-focused coastal programs, including the Long Island Sound Futures Fund, Delaware Watershed Conservation Fund and Chesapeake Bay Stewardship Fund.
