As natural hazard risks continue to escalate, many communities, businesses, and farms find themselves needing to build their resilience against these threats -- often at a pace faster than budgets will permit. Although federal funding can bridge those budgetary gaps, the organizations that need funding the most often fail to get it. We spoke to three experts about the challenges and best practices for securing government funding for climate resilience projects. Here's what they had to say...

See you next week! Charmayne Anderson, TFG Partner, and Wyatt Fritz, TFG Grants Analyst, will present on the strategic aspects of federal funding to Maryland Government Finance Officer Association members.

More often than not, smaller communities with limited resources tend to be less resilient against natural hazard risks like floods, wildfires, hurricanes, etc. Outside funding could help. But, these same communities often lack the money and resources to apply for and follow through on government grant requirements. The solution? Christopher Wagoner, MPA of TFG recommends sharing the burden with other communities with similar goals. It's closely aligned with an approach we at AEM call #collaborativeresilience.
