Financial Assistance Opportunities

2008 CALFED Water Use Efficiency Grant Program

The Mid-Pacific Region of Reclamation is posting a Request for Applications (RFA) for water use efficiency and conservation activities.  The objective of the CALFED Water Use Efficiency Grant Program is to promote the goals, objectives, and missions of CALFED.  To be eligible for financial assistance, a proposed activity must have a defined relationship to the California Bay-Delta. 

Reclamation has approximately $1.5 million available to agricultural and urban entities for the encouragement of water use efficiency and conservation activities.  Reclamation can fund up to 50% of approved projects, not to exceed $300,000. 

Previously, Reclamation and the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) announced that Reclamation’s CALFED Water Use Efficiency Grant Program would be advertised in cooperation with DWR’s Proposition 50 Water Use Efficiency Program. Due to time limitations for funding distributions and contract awards, Reclamation regrets to inform applicants that federal funds will not be advertised through DWR, and entities cannot apply for Federal funds through DWR’s Proposition 50 Water Use Efficiency Program. To apply for Reclamation’s 2008 CALFED Water Use Efficiency Grant Program, an agency or district must do so directly through Reclamation’s Request for Funding Opportunity (RFO) No. 08SF200028.
