State Revolving Funds | VT Bond Bank The SRF Program as administered by the Bond Bank provides conventional and green infrastructure loans related to drinking and wastewater infrastructure as well as natural resource conservation projects. The program is funded through the EPA alongside a matching contribution from the State of Vermont.
Loan terms extend up to 30 years for clean water loans and up to 40 years for drinking water loans with rates ranging from 0 to 2 percent for each type of loan. Many loans are also eligible for partial forgiveness depending on the characteristics of the system and surrounding community seeking financing. Local bond counsel serves a critical role in confirming the legality of our borrower’s debt issuances.
Early engagement of local counsel will ensure that they will be able to provide a preliminary legal opinion alongside a loan application to the Bond Bank. Applications for financing are managed by the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation (“DEC”) who reviews for programmatic compliance before sending to the Bond Bank for financial underwriting.
The first requirement for obtaining funding is to make an application for your project to be on the annual Project Priority List and make sure that your project is included in the annual Intended Use Plan for the program. Visit DEC’s related financing program.

The North American Wetlands Conservation Act funds wetland and migratory-bird habitat through two tracks — U.S. Small Grants (up to $250,000, closing June 25, 2026) and the larger U.S. Standard Grants. Both require a 1:1 non-federal match, and that match is where most applications are won or lost. Here is how the program works, who is eligible, and why land trusts and Tribes should care.
Read articleOn June 11, 2026, U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel ruled that the EPA's February 2025 termination of the $2.8 billion Environmental and Climate Justice Block Grant Program — created by Section 60201 of the Inflation Reduction Act — was arbitrary, capricious, and unlawful. The ruling voids the termination but does not order the EPA to resume the program, leaving the September 30, 2026 statutory deadline as the binding constraint. For the 116 grantees and the coalition of nonprofits, cities, and tribal partners that were already in award negotiations, the next 105 days will determine whether the program survives in any operational form or migrates entirely to the Court of Federal Claims as a damages action.
