Special Events:

Technical Capacity Mini-Grant RFP With funding from a U.S. EPA Targeted Watershed Initiative Grant, the Center for Watershed Protection is currently inviting proposals for its Technical Capacity Mini-Grant program, awarding direct assistance and financial support to a wide range of small watershed organizations. These small watershed organizations play a key role in local watershed management and, collectively, in regional water resource protection and restoration.  The goal of the mini-grant program is to strengthen the technical capacity of these watershed organizations in the areas of stormwater and watershed management.

FAQs: Deadline for Application: We are accepting applications on a rolling basis, meaning that we will review and fund proposals as they are submitted, provided they meet the criteria in the RFP.  After all the money has been awarded, we will send out another message letting everyone know that the application process has been closed.

Who is Eligible: Any small not-for-profit 501(c)3 watershed group within the United States may apply to this mini-grant program, provided they are not debarred or suspended or otherwise ineligible to participate in Federal assistance programs. Federal entities and for-profit organizations are not eligible to apply.  Local government and conservation districts can also apply, provided they partner with a watershed group.  Applications will also be accepted for cases where a watershed group is a branch of local government.
