Where did the Wild Billions go?

Bay Nature has tracked BIL and IRA funding for nature in the greater Bay Area since 2023; here’s the spending as of July 2025. Trump’s budget bill claws back remaining funds from 12 out of the 30 programs, including nearly every IRA program.

**This program was officially terminated in April 2025, independent of the budget bill.
Because we tracked this money through news alerts and other sources, we may have missed some funding; read more about our methodology.
