{"status":200,"message":"Success","data":{"id":"be92db3b-338d-5818-94e2-9c9abb6b10fa","title":"Chesapeake and Coastal Grants Gateway","description":"Maryland DNR's Chesapeake and Coastal Grants Gateway (also known as the Grants Gateway) is a centralized hub and single point of entry operated by the Watershed & Climate Services (WCS) division to streamline grant and loan applications for projects that improve water quality, restore local waterways, increase community flood planning, develop environmental stewards, improve shorelines, and plan for beneficial reuse. The FY2028 solicitation opened July 15, 2026, with awards announced June–July 2027 and funding beginning July 1–October 1, 2027. Grants and loans are funded through the Chesapeake and Atlantic Coastal Bays Trust Fund, the Coastal Resiliency Program, the Waterway Improvement Fund, the Shoreline Erosion Control Revolving Loan Fund, NOAA, and EPA's Chesapeake Bay Program. The gateway covers six funding programs: (1) Chesapeake and Atlantic Coastal Bays Trust Fund — non-point source pollution reduction; (2) Community Flood Planning — reducing coastal and precipitation-based flood risks; (3) Resilience through Restoration — habitat restoration to address erosion and flooding; (4) Environmental Education and Stewardship — watershed education, curriculum, outdoor learning, and community stewardship; (5) Beneficial Use — planning and design for dredged sediment reuse; and (6) Shoreline Erosion Loan Program — nature-based living shoreline techniques to protect waterfront property. Each sub-program has its own eligibility criteria and funding lead. The program supports projects achieving at least one of five defined outcomes related to Chesapeake Bay restoration and community resilience, with a focus on Chesapeake and Atlantic Coastal Bay communities statewide.","status":{"value":"open"},"source":"https://www.dnr.maryland.gov/ccs/Pages/funding/grantsgateway.aspx","funding":{"details":"Competitive grants and loans are available across six program tracks: non-point source pollution reduction, flood planning, habitat restoration, environmental education, beneficial reuse of dredged sediment, and shoreline erosion control loans. Most programs are competitive grants submitted through a web-based portal (https://webportalapp.com/sp/grants_gateway). The Shoreline Erosion Loan Program (SEC loan) provides zero-interest revolving loans on a rolling basis through a Google Form; it offers a sliding-scale administrative fee (3–10%) with 5–20 year terms, limited to living shoreline projects (bulkheads and stone revetments are ineligible). A site visit with WCS is required prior to application submission for the Shoreline Erosion Loan Program. Landowner agreements are structured in two tracks: Form A (in perpetuity) for stream restorations, tidal wetlands, living shorelines, and stream-wetland complexes; Form B (15-year term) for tree plantings, non-tidal wetlands, meadows, and bioretentions. Technical assistance and site visits are available upon request during the application period (through November 15, 2026). Match funds are not required but may improve competitiveness. Funding is provided through multiple federal and state sources including the Chesapeake and Atlantic Coastal Bays Trust Fund, Coastal Resiliency Program, Waterway Improvement Fund, NOAA, and EPA's Chesapeake Bay Program."},"keyDates":{"closeDate":{"name":"Application deadline","eventType":"singleDate","date":"2026-12-11","details":"December 11, 2026 by 11:59 p.m. EST (Beneficial Use: September 18, 2026; Shoreline Erosion Loan: rolling basis through December 11, 2026)"}},"acceptedApplicantTypes":[{"value":"custom","customValue":"non-profit"},{"value":"custom","customValue":"for-profit"},{"value":"individual"},{"value":"custom","customValue":"government"},{"value":"custom","customValue":"higher education institution"}],"customFields":{"agency":{"name":"agency","fieldType":"object","value":{"name":"Maryland Department of Natural Resources - Watershed and Climate Services"},"schema":"https://commongrants.org/custom-fields/agency"},"contactInfo":{"name":"contactInfo","fieldType":"object","value":{"name":"Sara Weglein","email":"sara.weglein@maryland.gov","phone":"410-260-8772"},"schema":"https://commongrants.org/custom-fields/contactInfo"},"additionalInfo":{"name":"additionalInfo","fieldType":"object","value":{"url":"https://compass.maryland.gov/incentives/#/incentive/chesapeake-and-coastal-grants-gateway","description":"Maryland Community Compass record"},"schema":"https://commongrants.org/custom-fields/additionalInfo"},"eligibilityCriteria":{"name":"eligibilityCriteria","fieldType":"object","value":{"beneficiaryTypes":[{"code":"non_profit","name":"non-profit"},{"code":"for_profit","name":"for-profit"},{"code":"individuals","name":"individuals"},{"code":"government","name":"government"},{"code":"higher_education_institution","name":"higher education institution"}],"details":"Maryland communities and organizations — including nonprofits, government entities, for-profits, individuals, higher education institutions, and HOAs/community groups — seeking funding for water quality improvement, flood resilience, habitat restoration, environmental education, beneficial reuse of dredged sediment, and shoreline protection projects in Chesapeake and Atlantic Coastal Bay communities.\n\nAvailable statewide in Maryland, with a focus on Chesapeake and Atlantic Coastal Bay communities.
