Proposition 4 Funding
In November 2024, California voters approved Proposition 4, a $10 billion Climate Bond designed to safeguard communities and natural resources from climate change.
The Bond allocated $20 million for Invasive Species Grants.
The California Department of Food and Agriculture on behalf of the Invasive Species Council of California (ISCC) will implement these programs.
In 2026, ISCC plans to release a solicitation for the Invasive Species Grant (ISG) Program.
The Bond requires CDFA to solicit public feedback on the program solicitation guidelines. This webpage is the hub for ISCC’s Climate Bond resources and outreach. We look forward to your partnership in shaping these programs.
