Grants

We’re helping fossil fuel–dependent communities across the United States develop strategies to support their local economies.

In September 2025, the Resilient Energy Economies initiative released a request for proposals for applied research projects on strategies to help US fossil fuel–dependent communities navigate a changing energy landscape.

The deadline to submit a pre-proposal for this RFP was October 31, 2025.

We anticipate alerting applicants about whether they are invited to submit full proposals by early December 2025, with full proposals due on January 31, 2026.

For questions about your submission, please email REE project manager Christina Cilento: ccilento@rff.org.
