The DCNR Community Conservation Partnership Programs will be supporting mini-grant programs through 15 groups across the state to support smaller, local recreation and conservation projects in 2025.
DCNR provides funding to these local partners and that partner disburses the funding in small amounts through their own competitive grant program.
The idea is to support small, quick, local projects that contribute to natural resource conservation and outdoor recreation improvements.
If you have a conservation or outdoor recreation project that can be completed within one year and will cost roughly $50,000 or less, a mini-grant from one of these partners may be a good fit to help fund your project.
Organizations with mini-grants coming in 2025 include--
-- Appalachian Trail Conservancy
-- Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor, Inc.
-- Endless Mountains Heritage Region, Inc.
-- Lancaster County Conservancy
-- Lincoln Highway Heritage Corridor, Inc.
-- Lumber Heritage Region of PA, Inc.
-- Natural Lands
-- North Central Pennsylvania Regional Planning and Development Commission
-- Northwest Pennsylvania Regional Planning & Development Commission
-- Pennsylvania Environmental Council, Inc.
-- Pennsylvania Organization for Watersheds and Rivers, Inc.
-- Pennsylvania Trout, Inc.
-- Rivers of Steel Heritage Corporation
-- Southern Alleghenies Planning and Development Commission
-- The Susquehanna Greenway Partnership
