What is the Funding Opportunity Report?

Connecting Forest Resilience Projects to Conservation Finance

The Planscape Funding Opportunity Report is designed to close the funding gap. It translates your planning areas and treatment scenarios into a standardized Funding Opportunity Report built to meet the analytical and reporting needs of major conservation finance organizations like Blue Forest and The Freshwater Trust.

Key Features at a Glance

• Post-Planning Availability: The Funding Report unlocks automatically as soon as you have designed a scenario or uploaded a custom project area in the western United States.
• Standardized Metric Reporting: Generates verified outcomes across four core pillars: Carbon, Wildfire Risk Reduction, Biomass, and Water.
• Visual Storytelling: Provides clear, pre- and post-treatment visual metrics to help you communicate immediate project value to partners, build public trust, and secure buy-in.
• Sharing & Integration: Download reports as PDFs, export spatial data as Geopackages, or generate a live link to share directly with potential funders.

How it Works: Scenarios and Uploaded Project Areas

You can generate a Funding Opportunity Report using two different pathways in Planscape. How the module handles them differs slightly:

• From a Scenario: Use Plancape to create your boundaries for you using Forsys based on your planning needs.
• From an Uploaded Project Area: For custom boundaries uploaded directly into the platform.

The Four Core Metrics

To build a compelling business case for conservation finance, the report evaluates your planning area against four key metric categories using scientific modeling:

⚠️ Regional Availability

The Funding Report is currently optimized and available exclusively for Western US forested ecosystems. Certain high-resolution data layers may have limited coverage depending on specific state data boundaries.
