Does your great idea need a boost?
ASFPM Foundation has extended the deadline for project applications through April 4.
Most projects begin with individuals hoping to solve a
problem and make a difference. All too
often we are stalled in our tracks by lack of resources. So, let the ASFPM Foundation help with
funding and more!
The Foundation, a non-profit organization, helps reduce
flood risk and its impacts on people and communities. We support ASFPM, its chapters and its
members advance project, education, and policy initiatives that help build a
more resilient nation. This year the Foundation will award up to $40,000 in
funding for projects that make a difference for flood practitioners and
communities. Projects can take many forms from a how-to guide to a training
video or even a flood risk education computer game.
We are accepting applications for 2025 funding through April 4th. Visit the ASFPM
Foundation Projects page to learn more and submit your application. All
projects must be led or co-sponsored by an ASFPM
Chapter.
