A grant from San Gabriel and Lower Los Angeles Rivers and Mountains Conservancy

Proposition 68 Grants for Lower Los Angeles River (LLAR)

This is a potentially strong fit for an eligible entity with a project inside the Lower Los Angeles River corridor and a clear connection to the Lower Los Angeles River Revitalization Plan, drought response, or long-term water resilience. At the Concept Proposal stage, RMC staff will consider alignment, project strength, location, need, project type, readiness, threats, cost, and cost share. Applicants should use the recommended pre-submission consultation and directly address those factors, while recognizing that no award size, deadline, formal scoring rubric, or cost-share requirement is provided in this packet.

Plain-English explanation

Plain-English explanation

This is a potentially strong fit for an eligible entity with a project inside the Lower Los Angeles River corridor and a clear connection to the Lower Los Angeles River Revitalization Plan, drought response, or long-term water resilience. At the Concept Proposal stage, RMC staff will consider alignment, project strength, location, need, project type, readiness, threats, cost, and cost share. Applicants should use the recommended pre-submission consultation and directly address those factors, while recognizing that no award size, deadline, formal scoring rubric, or cost-share requirement is provided in this packet.

Editorial analysis

What the funder is trying to accomplish

RMC will fund projects that align with the Lower Los Angeles River Revitalization Plan (LLARRP), immediate drought response, and long-term water resilience. The LLARRP was developed through a watershed-based, equitable, community-driven process and identifies multi-benefit opportunities affecting community economics, health, equity, the public realm, water, and the environment.

Editorial analysis

Strong-fit project signals

The project is within 1.5 miles of the main stem or a tributary of the Lower Los Angeles River. The applicant is an expressly eligible entity, such as a qualifying 501(c)(3) nonprofit, public agency, recognized tribal entity, state or federal agency, certified local conservation corps, or Joint Powers Authority. The proposal can make a specific, credible connection to the LLARRP, immediate drought response, or long-term water resilience. The project can explain its location, need, type, readiness, threats, cost, and cost-share position, all of which RMC staff state they will consider for Concept Proposals. The project combines relevant benefits in areas identified by the LLARRP, such as water and environmental outcomes alongside health, equity, public-realm, or community-economic outcomes. This is a favorable-fit inference from the plan’s multi-benefit focus, not a stated scoring requirement.

Editorial analysis

What reviewers may prioritize

The packet does not provide a formal scoring rubric or weighting. It does confirm that RMC staff will review Concept Proposals for consistency with RMC goals, specific program priorities, project strength, location, need, project type, readiness, threats, cost, and cost share. The practical priority to address each item explicitly is an inference from those stated considerations, not a confirmed scoring hierarchy.
