New Funding Opportunity: 2026 Wildfire Resilience Block Grants
LEAF partners working in forest health, wildfire resilience, prescribed fire, biomass utilization, watershed restoration, tribal stewardship, and landscape-scale collaboration may want to take a close look at California's new 2026 Wildfire Resilience Block Grant opportunity.
Funded through Proposition 4, this program is designed to strengthen regional capacity by supporting collaborative, landscape-scale projects that reduce wildfire risk, improve forest and landscape resilience, and invest in long-term implementation efforts. The program emphasizes partnerships, regional coordination, and projects that deliver multiple community and environmental benefits.
This funding may be particularly relevant for:
Forest collaboratives and stewardship organizations
Tribes and tribal organizations
Resource Conservation Districts
Local governments and public agencies
Nonprofits and regional partnerships working on natural and working lands
If your organization is considering applying or looking for partners we encourage you to use this thread to connect with others in the LEAF network. One of LEAF's goals is to strengthen regional coordination and help organizations identify opportunities to collaborate before proposals are developed.
