Opportunity Information: Apply for EPA REG4 WPDG 21 01
The FY21 and FY22 Region 4 Wetland Program Development Grants (WPDGs) opportunity is a discretionary funding program offered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to strengthen the capacity of public agencies and eligible intergovernmental entities to protect, manage, and restore wetlands. The program is focused on helping applicants build, improve, or modernize the core elements of wetland programs, with the broader goal of improving wetland stewardship through better planning, stronger program infrastructure, and more effective implementation tools. These awards are issued as cooperative agreements, which generally means the EPA expects to have substantial involvement during the project period compared with a standard grant.
The central purpose of the funding is program development rather than direct on-the-ground construction or restoration work. In practical terms, projects are intended to help governments and eligible entities develop or refine the policies, procedures, strategies, and technical frameworks needed to run an effective wetlands program. The primary emphasis is on state, territorial, and tribal wetland programs, reflecting the role these entities play in establishing wetland protections, coordinating permitting and compliance approaches, maintaining inventories and monitoring systems, and setting restoration and management priorities. A secondary emphasis supports local wetland program development, such as county or municipal initiatives, particularly where local governments are building their own capacity to manage wetlands or coordinate with state and federal efforts.
This opportunity is identified as “FY21 and FY22 Region 4 Wetland Program Development Grants” with Funding Opportunity Number EPA REG4 WPDG 21 01. It falls under the Environment funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 66.461. The EPA posted the opportunity on May 17, 2021, with an original closing date of July 2, 2021, while also noting that applicants should consult Section IV of the official solicitation for the controlling close date details. The opportunity lists an expected total of 16 awards, but it does not specify an award ceiling (shown as 0), which typically indicates that applicants need to refer to the full announcement for any limits, typical award sizes, or budgeting expectations.
Eligibility is described broadly as “Others,” with additional clarification to be provided in the solicitation’s eligibility section. Based on the program description, eligible applicants include state, territorial, tribal, and local government agencies, as well as interstate and intertribal entities, all of which are positioned to build or refine governmental wetland programs. Overall, the opportunity is designed for applicants who are working on the foundational systems that make wetland protection and restoration more consistent and effective over the long term, especially within EPA Region 4, and who can translate grant support into durable program improvements that persist after the cooperative agreement ends.Apply for EPA REG4 WPDG 21 01
