Grant application period open

The Idaho Water Resource Board is actively inviting applications for the 2024 State Flood Management Grant program. Applications are due by Friday, June 7.

The State Flood Management Grant program is open to flood control districts, drainage districts, irrigation districts, canal companies, municipalities, counties, and other public entities that may have incurred flood damage in recent times. The Idaho Legislature has made the Flood Management Grant program a permanent program with about $1 million in funding available statewide.

The maximum budget for projects is $200,000; a 50% local match is required with non-state dollars. Eligible projects include repairing stream channels damaged by floods; stream-channel improvement; flood-risk reduction; and flood-prevention projects.
