Virginia CZM Program’s grantees are comprised of state agencies, planning district commissions (PDCs), local governments, public academic institutions and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). However, Virginia CZM Program does not put out a Request for Proposals. The Virginia Coastal Policy Team outlines the Virginia CZM Program funding priorities.

Availability of Additional Funding

Reprogrammed grant funds may be available throughout the year on a limited basis. Please contact Ryan Green, Virginia CZM Program Manager, at (804) 698-4258, or our Coastal Planner Jeff Flood (804) 659-1918 - for more information about the availability or allocation of these funds.

Grant Acknowledgment Requirements

NOAA requires that any documents intended for public distribution, which are expressly related to grant activities, e.g., web sites, PowerPoint and other presentations, press releases, RFPs, fact sheets, brochures and other informational flyers, exhibits, job announcements, meeting announcements, newspaper or magazine articles or advertisements, etc., must acknowledge funding from NOAA through the Virginia Coastal Zone Management Program.

When the media interviews you, remember to recognize funding from the Virginia CZM Program (led by DEQ) and NOAA, and the role of the Virginia CZM Program in project coordination and partnership. In order to ensure this information makes it into a story, weave into what you tell the reporter how the Virginia CZM Program initiated or helped with the project rather than simply listing the program as a funder.

We need your help in illustrating how federal funding and Virginia CZM Program staff support coastal resource management efforts in Virginia. It is critical that Congress hears and sees how these taxpayer dollars are spent. 

All final products produced through a grant from the Virginia CZM Program must acknowledge the program.

Products - draft and final - should display the following:

  • NOAA and Virginia CZM Program acknowledgment language
  • NOAA, Virginia CZM Program and DEQ logos


    Standard acknowledgment language:

    This project (or mapping project, research project, planting project, nature trail, etc:), Task # (e.g., 96.01) was funded by (or "funded, in part, by" if match funds were also used) the Virginia Coastal Zone Management Program led by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality through Grant #NA (e.g., FY20 #NA20NOS4190207) of the U.S. Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, under the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, as amended.

    If the product is a report or research paper intended for general distribution, the following sentence should be added to the end of the credit:

    The views expressed herein are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the U.S. Department of Commerce, NOAA, or any of its subagencies.

    Coastal Nonpoint Pollution Control Program Projects (grant tasks in the 80's series) should use the following acknowledgement language:

    This project was funded by the Virginia Coastal Zone Management Program led by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality through grant number #NAXXNOSXXXXXXX of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Office for Coastal Management under the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, as amended. The views expressed herein are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of NOAA or any of its subagencies or DEQ.

Interpretive and Acknowledgement Signage

Signs, recognizing funding from NOAA and the Virginia CZM Program, must be erected at land acquisition, restoration and construction sites. Upon start of construction, a temporary sign must be in place and replaced with permanent signage.

Before signs are printed and erected, the sign's layout and language must be reviewed and approved by the Virginia CZM Program Project Manager assigned to your project.

Due to space constraints and design issues, the acknowledgment language may be abbreviated to: 

This (pier, boardwalk, kayak launch, kiosk, interpretive signage etc.) was funded by the Virginia Coastal Zone Management Program through a grant from NOAA under the federal Coastal Zone Management Act."

The Virginia CZM Program logo must be included. Also incorporate the NOAA logo if space permits.

If you have any questions, comments or concerns regarding these acknowledgment requirements, please contact your assigned Virginia CZM Program Project Manager, or contact Virginia Witmer, Outreach Coordinator, at (804) 659-1912.
