About the Nature & Climate Education Facilities Grant Program
The Safe Drinking Water, Wildfire Prevention, Drought Preparedness, and Clean Air Bond Act of 2024, also known as the Climate Bond (Proposition 4), provides grant funding for nature and climate education facilities for buildings, equipment, structures, and exhibit galleries that present collections to promote climate, biodiversity, and cultural literacy. Five projects were identified for funding in the Budget Act of 2025. These projects are:
- $15,000,000 to La Brea Tar Pits geologic heritage site
- $10,000,000 to California Academy of Sciences for natural science collection digitization
- $5,000,000 to Discovery Cube
- $1,000,000 to the Wolf Museum of Exploration and Innovation for an interactive water exhibit
- $1,000,000 University of California Davis Integrative Center for Alternative Meat and Protein
To date, Climate Bond funding for nature and climate education facilities has not been allocated in the Budget Act of 2026. If funds are again appropriated for projects specified in the budget, a list of those projects will be posted on this webpage. If funds are appropriated for a competitive grant program, announcements will be distributed via our GovDelivery Email Update list. Please sign up here for updates.
