WCB BUDGET UPDATE – A message from Jen Norris

June 30, 2025

California Natural Resources Agency building in downtown Sacramento.

Many of you (us too!) have been waiting for the 2025-2026 Budget, to learn about Climate Bond (Prop 4) allocations to WCB, and by extension, what your prospects might be for grants this fall.

Unfortunately, the waiting is not over…

The State Budget was signed on Friday, BUT Climate Bond allocations were not included. We hope to have more information by our August Board meeting. In the meantime, please know that our project funding decisions are on hold.

We appreciate your patience and partnership.
