The U.S. Endowment for Forestry and Communities seeks to make program-related investments in projects and investments that advance systemic, transformative and sustainable change for the health and vitality of working forests and forest-reliant communities in the U.S.

Proposals are due October 11.

Ahead of anticipated board funding approval, the Endowment welcome inquiries from companies, funds, project developers and others that seek investment in:

-- Carbon credit funds that have a focus on forests in the U.S.

-- Digital and software-based technologies designed to advance forest health and economies, e.g., mapping and monitoring software, or digital platforms to facilitate transactions involving forests.

-- Forest management projects (or portfolios of such projects) that directly advance forest health and economies, e.g., reforestation, forest conservation, or forest restoration projects.

-- Hardware-based technologies designed to advance forest health and economies, e.g., fire monitoring systems, sensors, or treatments for trees.

-- New markets for forest products such as biochar, bioliquids, bioenergy with carbon capture and storage, and mass timber.

-- Real estate development using forest products—such as timber, mass timber, or biochar—and on a sustainable basis.
