After submitting a pre-application, you'll receive notification within 2-3 weeks to whether your project is invited to submit a full application.
Applying for a CWSP grant is a two-stage process:
- Step 1: Submit a pre-application. A grant review committee reviews the pre-applications and selects applicants to complete full applications.
- Step 2: If selected, CWSP coordinators then invite selected applicants to submit a full application.
Before starting an application, please see the application timeline for important dates.
Step 1: Pre-Application
Download and complete the pre-application form (available in both PDF and Word formats).
