If your city is preparing now to withstand any number of potential natural and manmade catastrophes in the future, then it’s time to think about competing in the Rockefeller Foundation’s 100 Resilient Cities Centennial Challenge. This competition is open to municipal governments with a population of over 50,000 people and will provide technical support and resources for developing and implementing urban resilience plans.
The Rockefeller Foundation’s partners will choose 100 cities to work with on establishing a suite of financial and technical assistance support to develop and implement the resilience plan. Each selected community is expected to be an integrated member of the 100 Resilient Cities Network and create or expand the role of a Chief Resilience Officer within the municipal government.
Registration is required by Sept. 23, 2013 in order to receive the application. For more information, visit the Centennial Challenge webpage.
Through our new information resource, GrantIntel, Gov1 is now dedicated to helping local government leaders identify and successfully pursue new and ever-changing sources of funding. We will be extending complimentary access to GrantIntel for the entire month of September.
