Grant program overview
Municipalities at the Benefactor level may submit grant applications to the Conservancy who will review them and select which projects to fund. This grant program will help you to meet MCM #2 - Public Involvement and Participation and add to your BMP inventory. Some examples of potential projects include rain gardens, bioswales, stormwater basin naturalizations, riparian buffer plantings, and rain barrel installations.
