Plain-English explanation

Editorial analysis

What the funder is trying to accomplish

The Conservancy seeks to sustain the Delta’s heritage and enhance the Delta’s unique values through projects addressing recreation and tourism, historic and cultural preservation, and environmental education. It funds planning projects, including pilot projects, as well as qualifying implementation and acquisition projects.

Editorial analysis

Strong-fit project signals

The applicant is a California public agency, or is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with charitable purposes aligned with the Conservancy’s mission. The project is within or benefits the Delta and Suisun Marsh. The project addresses recreation and tourism, historic and cultural preservation, or environmental education in a manner connected to sustaining Delta heritage or enhancing Delta values. A planning proposal identifies eligible work such as scoping, partnership development, outreach, stakeholder coordination, design, permitting, CEQA activities, or Delta Plan consistency. An implementation proposal is specific, bond-eligible, on the ground, shovel-ready, and will construct, improve, or acquire a capital asset maintained for at least 15 years.

Editorial analysis

What reviewers may prioritize

The evidence provides no formal review criteria or scoring rubric. It does identify eligibility, Delta or Suisun Marsh geography or benefit, fit with the three program purposes, project type, and priority for projects serving Disadvantaged or Severely Disadvantaged Communities as material program considerations. The Conservancy also assesses concept proposals for project viability before a full proposal is submitted.

Source-backed synopsis

What this grant funds

The Community and Economic Enhancement Grant Program is designed to fund projects that address recreation and tourism, historic and cultural preservation, and environmental education in order to sustain the Delta's heritage and enhance the unique values of the Delta today. The solicitation is an ongoing noncompetitive process. Projects serving a Disadvantaged/Severely Disadvantaged Community will receive priority for funding consideration. The Conservancy will fund planning projects, which include pilot projects. Allowable activities for planning projects include, but are not limited to, project scoping (partnership development, outreach to impacted parties, stakeholder coordination, negotiation of site access or land tenure); planning and design (engineering design, identifying appropriate best management practices); and environmental compliance (permitting, California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) activities, Delta Plan consistency). The Conservancy will fund implementation projects, which include acquisition projects. Implementation projects are specific, bond-eligible, on-the-ground projects that result in the construction, improvement, or acquisition of a capital asset that will be maintained for a minimum of 15 years. Implementation projects are "shovel-ready" projects. Applicants must submit a concept proposal, as found on the Conservancy's website, to the Conservancy for assessment of project viability before submitting a full proposal. Partnerships are encouraged but not required. The Conservancy may provide technical assistance to facilitate the development of project proposals. There are no limitations on number of submissions by organizations. Applications are received via email for concept proposals and by uploading files to a designated site for full proposals. Awards are announced at a Board meeting and applicants are informed with a letter.
