About this grant
The 2021 bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act offers a critical opportunity to address the nation’s backlog of water infrastructure needs while also rethinking how we manage our water resources and systems to advance environmental, health and justice goals. To take advantage of this opportunity, the Water Foundation has launched the Water Solutions Fund, a national pooled fund designed to ensure that implementation of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act realizes its full promise by focusing on three areas: reforming policy, developing model projects and building nonprofit capacity at the local, state and national levels to effectively influence water infrastructure decision-making. This one-time grant will help capitalize the pooled fund and support its annual operations.
