The REPI Resilience Project Funding Guide serves as a one-stop shop for military installations and county partners to learn about more than 25 federal and non-federal resilience and conservation programs that can support existing or new REPI installation resilience projects. Every program includes a summary of funding opportunities, eligibility requirements and application information for developing nature-based solutions near installations and ranges that preserve military missions, enhance habitats, increase climate resilience and ensure military readiness.
