Announcing the California Resilience Challenge 2021 Funding RFP
July 12-September 13, 2021
In 2020, a coalition of businesses, utilities, and environmental organizations launched the
California Resilience Challenge (Challenge) to help communities across California strengthen their resilience to the increasingly severe droughts, heatwaves, wildfires, and flooding affecting California as a result of climate change. With support from the 2019-2020 Challenge RFP,
12 communities across the state are today undergoing climate adaptation planning initiatives.
The Governor's Office of Planning and Research is thrilled to announce that the Challenge 2021 Grant Program Request for Proposals will be open from July 12 through September 13, 2021. Building off the success of the 2020 Grant Program, the 2021 Challenge is focused on helping under-resourced communities build resilience against the climate challenges that threaten them most. To help achieve this objective, eligibility for the Challenge 2021 Grant Program is expanded to include community-based organizations as well as local and regional entities representing under-resourced communities.
