The Land Trust Alliance and Chesapeake Bay Funders Network have announced a new round of grants is now available through the Chesapeake Bay Land and Water Initiative.  The deadline for applications is November 9.

A partnership of the Funders Network and the Alliance, the Land and Water Initiative seeks projects that will accelerate land conservation and stewardship on conserved lands to protect and restore water quality in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed (all or parts of 43 counties in Pennsylvania are in the watershed).

The Initiative invites letters of inquiry (LOIs) from eligible organizations undertaking projects that positively impact water quality and meet the stated priorities and interests of the Initiative’s grant program.

Funding requests of $10,000–30,000 will be considered. LOIs will be accepted through November 9, 2018, and successful applicants will be invited in late December 2018 to submit full proposals for consideration.

Webinar Oct. 1

Prospective grantees are invited and encouraged to attend a conference call and webinar on Monday, October 1, at 1:00 p.m. to learn more about the grant program and LOI process. More information and registration is available here.

We also encourage you to take a look at projects funded in our previous grant rounds in 2017 and 2018.
