Climate Smart Communities Initiative (CSCI) Grants is sponsored by Climate Smart Communities Initiative. CSCI awards provide funding and technical assistance to advance community-based climate resilience in US communities or regions that are highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.
The program prioritizes funding for communities that include historically disinvested populations at increased risk to climate-related impacts and that would benefit from additional technical and administrative capacity.
