The 2025 Coastal Resilience Program grants have a recommended two-year project period and funding level of $150,000, and the Law Center anticipates selecting up to two projects for funding. Matching funds will not be required.
Eligible applications for this funding opportunity are Sea Grant Programs, institutions of higher education, state agencies, and non-profit organizations that have the ability and capacity to conduct rigorous, non-partisan law and policy research.
