The PA Organization for Watersheds and Rivers is now accepting applications for 2014 PA River Sojourn Grants.  Applications are due February 28.

Grants are available on a competitive basis for single and multi-day paddling events on Pennsylvania’s rivers.  Events must incorporate significant educational programming and be open to all participants.  Private trips are not eligible.

Up to $900 per on-water day for multi-day sojourns and $500 for single-day sojourns are available.

As a nationally unique program, the Pennsylvania Sojourns reach over 4,000 people, paddle over 500 river miles, offer more than 100 educational programs and distribute more than $60,000 in grants across the state.

POWR, an affiliate of the PA Environmental Council, administers the PA Sojourn Program.  POWR has been in place for over a decade and has sponsored trips on many of the Commonwealth’s rivers.  The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources is the prime sponsor of the program.
