The Details

What you need

The Regional Restoration Partnerships Program provides support to regional collaboratives such as watershed groups and regional governments and planning agencies who work with municipalities and other local partners to implement river and wetland restoration projects in Massachusetts.

For this opportunity, the Division of Ecological Restoration (DER), within the Department of Fish and Game, is interested in providing capacity-building funding to strengthen regional ecological restoration efforts through the designation as a DER-supported Regional Restoration Partnership. 

An award will result in a Partnership designation to established collaboratives and associated FY2027 funding to support established collaboratives seeking to expand their capacity to lead and implement aquatic ecosystem restoration and nature-based climate resiliency projects across the Commonwealth. 

The Request for Responses (RFR) will be available soon. Information also available on COMMBUYS. 

How to apply

  • Expression of Interest (EOI): Closed 2/6/2026, 5 pm EST.
  • The Request for Responses (RFR) will be open soon.
  • Information also available on COMMBUYS.
