Disaster Water Grants Program – Ongoing

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) - Rural Development (RD) offers grants to nonprofit organizations, government agencies, community-based organizations, and tribes in eligible regions to repair damaged water systems. Applicants must complete the required registrations before applying. The purpose of the program is to repair damage sustained during natural disasters.

Eligible proposals must benefit areas on the current list of presidentially declared disasters. For the purposes of this program, the term “water” refers to all water resource infrastructure, including drinking water, wastewater, storm drainage, and solid waste facilities.

Funds can be used to develop water infrastructure system capacity and resiliency to reduce or eliminate long term risks from hazards resulting from (presidentially declared) disasters during calendar year 2022.
