Program Update

UPDATE November 22, 2022

The Innovative Finance for National Forests (IFNF) program is excited to announce the third round of IFNF awards. The program supports the development and implementation of innovative finance models that leverage private and public capital other than U.S. Forest Service annual appropriations to enhance the resilience of the National Forest System and deliver commensurate returns to stakeholders. The IFNF program is co-managed by the U.S. Forest Service and U.S. Endowment for Forestry and Communities.

The Request for Proposal (RFP), which reviews submission and application details, is housed on the US Endowment.org page. Applications open on November 21st, 2022 and are due March 6, 2023.
