This grant from the U.S. Department of Treasury's RESTORE Act Program is for non-construction activities that help restore and protect the Gulf Coast region. It covers a wide range of projects, from environmental restoration to tourism promotion and workforce development. The grant can also support planning and administrative costs. It's specifically for non-construction activities, so if your project involves building or acquiring property, you'll need to look at a different grant opportunity.
Who it's for: State and county governments that are working on projects in the Gulf Coast region. These projects can include environmental restoration, tourism promotion, workforce development, and more.
