Apply for a Community Watershed Stewardship Program Grant

Label: Service
If you have a project that benefits your community and the environment, you can apply for a Community Watershed Stewardship Program (CWSP) grant of up to $12,000.

After submitting a pre-application, you'll receive notification within 2-3 weeks to whether your project is invited to submit a full application.


Notice: CWSP is currently on pause as we review and assess how it can best serve our community in the future. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this process and look forward to sharing updates when the program resumes.


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
