The 2025 round of the DEEP Climate Resilience Fund is a comprehensive funding opportunity designed to help Connecticut communities and entities build resilience to climate‑driven hazards through planning, design/advancement, and the implementation of resilience projects. With up to ~$44 million available, the program offers tiered funding categories: smaller scale planning grants ($25K‑250K), mid‑scale design/development grants ($200K‑650K), and large scale deployment/matching funds (up to ~$4M) for construction or major infrastructure. The program emphasizes nature‑based solutions, infrastructure resilience (including energy/ microgrids), stakeholder engagement, and benefits to vulnerable and environmental justice communities.
