A second round of the Long Island Sound Community Impact Fund has opened! Find the request for applications at estuaries.org/liscif-2025/
Restore America’s Estuaries is excited to announce $1.5 million in funding for the Long Island Region through the second round of the Long Island Sound Community Impact Fund (LISCIF).
LISCIF is a partnership between RAE, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and @LISStudy . Funding for LISCIF is provided by EPA through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and will help meet the goals of the Justice40 initiative which calls for 40% of certain Federal investments to flow to disadvantaged communities that are marginalized, underserved, and overburdened by pollution.
