Below is a list of funding programs utilizing FIND and application deadlines.

   

  Program Specific Deadlines:
  - Department of Water Resources Cost-Share Program: Applications received less than 45 days before a Water Commission meeting will be held for consideration at the next scheduled meeting.

  Department of Water Resources Cost-Share: The Department of Water Resources’ Cost-Share Program provides financial assistance to support local sponsors in development of sustainable water-related infrastructure projects. Example project types include, but are not limited to, community flood damage reduction, municipal water supply, rural water supply, irrigation, rural flood control (drains, channels, diversions), bank stabilizations, snagging and clearing, dam repairs and reconstructions, water-based recreation, individual rural and farmstead ring dikes, and other general water management efforts.

  Clean Water State Revolving Fund: The Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF), jointly managed by DEQ and PFA, provides loans to political subdivisions for water quality infrastructure projects including wastewater treatment, sewer rehabilitation, stormwater, and nonpoint source activities such as landfill leachate collection and treatment.

  Drinking Water State Revolving Fund: The Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF), jointly managed by DEQ and PFA, provides loans to public water systems for infrastructure projects to achieve or maintain compliance with the Safe Drinking Water Act, or to address public health issues. Projects include drinking water sources, treatment, distribution, and storage.

  Infrastructure Revolving Loan Fund: The Infrastructure Revolving Loan Fund (IRLF), administered by BND, provides loans to political subdivisions for eligible essential infrastructure projects. Details on projects considered eligible essential infrastructure projects, as well as loan parameters, can be found in North Dakota Century Code 6-09-49.

  Capital Financing Program: The Capital Financing Program (CFP), administered by PFA, provides loans to political subdivisions for any purpose for which the political subdivision has the legal authority to borrow money. Financing is available in any dollar amount as long as the ability to repay can be demonstrated. The interest rates payable by a political subdivision are market rates which are set through a competitive bid process when the PFA issues and sells its bonds to fund a loan.
