*Michigan Coastal Management Program Grant Funding Opportunity submission date extended to January 8, 2025*

The Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) has extended the submission date for the Michigan Coastal Management Program’s (MCMP) Grant Funding Opportunity (GFO) for fiscal year 2026 funding round from December 20, 2024, to January 8, 2025. This date extension has been made due to technical issues experienced with EGX, EGLE's new grants database.

These grant funds are to assist in the development of vibrant and resilient coastal communities through the protection and restoration of our sensitive coastal resources and biologically diverse ecosystems.  The MCMP is seeking projects that protect community character and revitalize ports and harbors; plan for growth and change in our coastal communities to strengthen economies and minimize risk from coastal hazards; protect and restore healthy coastal ecosystems for public use and enjoyment; devise solutions for the nature-based solutions to slow the flow of stormwater; and create and enhance public access.

The MCMP prioritizes projects that promotes resilience planning, local policies, and actions to mitigate negative impacts of coastal hazards through outreach, enhanced community engagement, host the MCMP’s Coastal Leadership Academy technical training workshops, evaluate regional climate change and coastal issues with recommendations to improve coastal community resilience through delivery of technical assistance and developed tools. All projects must take action to promote and support diversity, equity, inclusion, environmental justice, and barrier-free accessibility in coastal communities.

EGLE anticipates approximately $1,000,000.00 to be available in grant funds through this opportunity.  These grant funds are made possible through the partnership with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), pursuant to the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972. 

*Applications are now due no later than January 8, 2025*, submitted through the EGX grants database.  Please see the instructions for sign up and application submissions linked below:
