Public Comment Opportunity: ISCC’s Invasive Species Grant Program DRAFT Application Guideline (solicitation to follow)
The following information is being sent on behalf of the Invasive Species Council and California Department of Food and Agriculture
Proposition 4 Funding
In November 2024, California voters approved Proposition 4, a $10 billion Climate Bond designed to safeguard communities and natural resources from climate change. The Bond allocated $20 million for Invasive Species Grants. The California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) on behalf of the Invasive Species Council of California (ISCC) will implement these programs. In 2026, ISCC plans to release a solicitation for the Invasive Species Grant (ISG) Program. The Bond requires CDFA to solicit public feedback on the program solicitation guidelines. We look forward to your partnership in shaping these programs.
Public Comment Period
The public comment period for the ISG Draft Application Guidelines will be open from April 29 to May 29, 2026.
