Funding opportunity: Build your natural infrastructure
Is your municipality looking for ways to better prepare for floods and drought while advancing natural infrastructure projects?
The International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) is developing a two-year program for municipalities in the Prairies to assess local flood and drought risks, identify opportunities for natural infrastructure, and move priority projects toward implementation.
The opportunity is particularly suited to small and medium-sized municipalities with limited capacity or experience in natural infrastructure development.
Participating municipalities would have access to:
- Virtual and in-person training on natural infrastructure delivered by IISD
- Opportunities to bring together municipal staff, council members and seasonal staff to build shared knowledge and capacity across the organization
- A proposed two-day, in-person workshop, with an opportunity for the local ALUS program to showcase relevant project sites
- Up to $100,000 in funding to support implementation of natural infrastructure projects between June 1, 2027 and 2029
By the end of the two-year program, participating municipalities would have worked through the process of identifying, designing and implementing priority natural infrastructure projects.
