You are invited to join the upcoming webinar on Federal Funding Opportunities for Tribal Water Access and the Universal Access to Clean Water Funding Handbook on Thursday, November 21 from 3-4 pm MST.
The Initiative on Universal Access to Clean Water (UACW) for Tribal Communities was established to tackle the critical issue of insufficient access to basic drinking water services in Tribal households. UACW focuses on legislative and federal agency-focused advocacy, and recently produced a Funding Handbook focused on IRA and BIL funding available to Tribes. The Funding Handbook highlights opportunities that specifically support water access projects, as well as climate mitigation and adaptation actions on Tribal lands. In this webinar, the UACW team will explore how Tribes can leverage this historic funding to meet their community needs. The webinar is intended for students, professors, researchers, and staff who are focusing on challenges, solutions, and initiatives related to Tribal water justice.
