About the Directory Communities across the country face a range of complex funding challenges as they attempt to meet the demands of environmental protection. The Environmental Finance Center Network (EFCN) assists communities in finding creative funding solutions to meet these demands. Although there is a tremendous volume of information available for funding environmental protection, finding then sorting through it can be a daunting task. To address this need, the Environmental Finance Center (EFC) at Boise State University created the Directory of Watershed Resources; an on-line, searchable database for watershed restoration funding in the Pacific Northwest. In 2005, the New England EFC added the states of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont to the Directory. The EFC at the University of North Carolina has also developed a similar database that includes the states of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina and South Carolina. The EFCN hopes to expand the Directory to include funding information for all states in the future. The Directory includes information on funding programs available from federal, state, private, and other sources. Users can query the information through a detailed search or searching by agency sources or keyword. At the end of a query, matching programs will be displayed. When a specific program is selected, users can view detailed information for the selected program. This Directory is a work-in-progress. Information is added and updated regularly. Although we strive to maintain the most current information, we recommend you visit the program websites or contact the program administrator for the most up to date information. If you would like to add or update a program in the directory, please fill out our online form. We appreciate our many partners for their cooperation and assistance in developing and maintaining the Directory, and the EPA for funding this project. |
