The California Resilience Challenge 2021 Grant Program Request
for Proposals will be open from July 12 through September
13, 2021. Building off the success of the 2020 Grant
Program, the 2021 California Resilience Challenge is focused on
helping under-resourced communities, including counties, build
resilience against the climate challenges like wildfires, heat,
drought and/or flooding, which threaten them most. To learn

In 2020, a coalition of businesses, utilities, and environmental
organizations including the Bay Area Council
Foundation launched the California Resilience Challenge
to help communities across California strengthen their resilience
to the increasingly severe droughts, heatwaves, wildfires, and
flooding affecting California as a result of climate change. With
support from the California Resilience Challenge, 12 communities across the
state are today undergoing climate adaptation planning
initiatives.
