Finding The Green

The Growing Greener Coalition now has available a guide to finding funding for your conservation, restoration or recreation project called Finding The Green.

The purpose of this single-source guide is to provide an overview of funding opportunities that may be of help to you.  The guide contains a thorough listing of state funding programs for conservation, preservation and recreation projects, including the more recent funding made available from Act 13 of 2012.

In addition to a list of specific grant opportunities, you’ll find tips on how to apply and where to go for more information.

The guide is available for download and will be updated regularly as we gather new information so be sure to check back often.
