Celebrating the 2025 RNRF Grant Recipients
Drive Impact, Foster Engagement
RNRF is excited to announce seven 2025 grant recipients. The Grant Program received a tremendous response, with 174 proposals spanning renewable natural resources research, on-the-ground practice, and collaborative initiatives across the field. The range of topics and approaches submitted this year reflects meaningful work already underway and new ideas pushing the field forward. Together, these submissions highlight the powerful ideas, partnerships, and solutions shaping a more sustainable future.
Thank you to everyone who put thoughtful proposals forward and to the reviewers who ensured a thorough and thoughtful selection process.
RNRF is proud to support seven projects across three giant types:
- Rapid Response Grants
- Planning and Small Grants
- Implementation and Collaboration
The application process for the next grant cycle will follow a new structure. Additional details, including eligibility and submission guidelines, will be posted on the RNRF website in April, with a tentative Letter of Inquiry deadline on May 1, 2026.
