Do you have a project that will protect, restore, or enhance the natural resources of Tampa Bay and its contributing watershed?

The Tampa Bay Environmental Restoration Fund (TBERF) is soliciting proposals for habitat restoration and water quality improvement projects through March 13, 2024. Applied research and social marketing campaigns are also eligible.

Awards typically range from $25,000-$250,000, but proposals outside of that range will be considered. A minimum 1:1 match (cash or in-kind) is required. Eligible applicants include government entities, non-profit organizations, and educational institutions. Projects should not exceed a three-year timeline.

An informational webinar will be held on February 7, 11am-12pm. Staff will review the application, priorities, and timeline, including tips for submitting a strong proposal. There will be time for questions. Register for the webinar to receive a reminder.
