The Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) Grant Program is now accepting applications for 2025. Administered by FEMA and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the BRIC program offers $750 million in total grant funding to support infrastructure projects that reduce natural disaster risks and improve climate resilience.
Government agencies and tribal organizations across the United States can apply for up to $150 million per project to invest in sustainable infrastructure and hazard mitigation efforts.
The BRIC (Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities) grant provides competitive federal funding to help communities prepare for, withstand, and recover from natural disasters. This includes earthquakes, floods, wildfires, and other climate-related hazards.
