Delta Conservancy

The Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Conservancy (Conservancy) is a primary state agency in the implementation of ecosystem restoration in the Delta. We support efforts that advance environmental protection and the economic well-being of Delta residents. The Conservancy collaborates and cooperates with local communities and other parties to preserve, protect, and restore the natural resources, economy, and agriculture of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and Suisun Marsh.

The Delta Conservancy has opened a Concept Proposal Solicitation to identify potential projects and partnership opportunities within the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta region. This solicitation is not associated with a specific funding program or funding commitment. Rather, it will support future planning and funding efforts by enabling the Conservancy to:

Collaborate with potential applicants to refine projects in advance of future funding opportunities
Identify emerging needs, innovative concepts, and regional priorities that could be elevated for future funding
Facilitate connections to related efforts or technical assistance, as appropriate
