Resilient & Connected Appalachians Grant Program

Full Proposal Due Date: February 13, 2026
Climate & Conservation

About This Grant

The Nature Conservancy (TNC) is pleased to offer a third round of funding through its Resilient and Connected Appalachians Grant Program (RCAGP). The goal of the program is to support exceptional land protection projects that contribute to landscape-scale conservation and connectivity within TNC’s Appalachians Program area.

  

The program geography includes all or portions of Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama. Last year the RCAGP awarded $1 million in support of 15 projects that conserved over 17,000 acres across the Appalachians. Project descriptions funded last year can be found here.


The total amount of funding this year is $1.1 million. Grants of up to $100,000 are available to land trusts and other non-profit 501(c)(3) organizations with a conservation-related mission, academic institutions, Federally Recognized Tribal Nations (as well as affiliated non-profits applying on their behalf), municipalities, and local agencies.


To learn more about the RCAGP, including the application process, project eligibility, evaluation, and eligible grant expenses, please visit our website. You can also register for an informational webinar about the program on January 21 at 1:00 pm EST [sign-up here]. A recording of the webinar will also be posted to the website afterwards. For general questions about the program or technical assistance, please email us at cccfund@tnc.org.
