Public Comment Opportunity: General Grant Guidelines

The Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Conservancy is pleased to release the draft General Grant Guidelines for public review and comment in advance of consideration and adoption by the Conservancy’s Board.

The Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta faces a range of significant challenges, including ecosystem degradation, land subsidence, climate change impacts, increased flood risk, and economic pressures affecting Delta communities. Grant funding represents a critical opportunity to support projects that address these challenges while delivering multiple benefits to the Delta’s environment, economy, and communities.

To ensure that funding is distributed transparently and directed toward projects with the greatest potential impact, the Conservancy has developed draft General Grant Guidelines to guide the allocation process.

How to Submit Comments

Please submit comments via email to grants@deltaconservancy.ca.gov no later than Friday, April 24, 2026, at 5:00 p.m.

The most effective comments will:

• Reference the specific section(s) of the draft Guidelines being addressed; and
• Provide clear, actionable suggestions or proposed revisions.

The Conservancy also welcomes general feedback on whether the draft Guidelines align with and support your organization’s goals and vision for the Delta region.
The Conservancy values public input as an essential component of the guideline development process. Your feedback helps strengthen transparency, improve program effectiveness, and ensure that a broad range of perspectives is considered.

Grant Guidelines Development Process

Following the close of the public comment period, Conservancy staff will review all submitted comments and revise the Guidelines as appropriate.

The Conservancy anticipates presenting the final General Grant Guidelines to the Conservancy Board for consideration at the May Board meeting. This meeting will be open to the public and accessible both in person and online. Additional details, including participation instructions and opportunities to provide public comment, will be posted on the Conservancy’s website in advance of the meeting.
