Description: The State Revolving Funds (SRFs) are key sources of grant-like funding for rural, small (serving ≤ 10,000 people), and tribal water providers to invest in climate resilient green stormwater infrastructure (GSI). Given capacity constraints and the complexity of the SRFs, these water providers often face challenges accessing these funds. To demystify how rural, small, and tribal water providers can leverage SRF dollars for GSI, WaterNow Alliance will host a 1-hour webinar highlighting GSI eligibility for SRFs and untangling the application process, featuring a demonstration of the GSI Impact Hub—a customizable tool to make the business case for GSI investments, and previewing technical assistance resources for hands-on support.

Learning Objectives:

• Inspire broadened thinking about the types of projects that water infrastructure grant and loan programs can help fund
• Spotlight GSI as infrastructure that can help small, rural, and tribal water systems adapt to the effects of climate change
• Equip participants with the know-how for matching GSI projects with available funding and financing
• Answer participants’ questions about GSI’s role in building climate resilient water systems and how to access funding and financing for these investments

Presenters: Caroline Koch and Andrew Teegarden, WaterNow, and Janet Clements andJeff Odefey, One Water Econ
