2013 Chambers-Clover Creek Watershed Council
Supplemental Environmental Grant Announcement
Please note: This is a second opportunity to apply for grant funding through the 2013 Chamber Clover small grant program. Following the first grant round we have identified a balance of available funds and hope to have them applied to more projects within the watershed. The deadline for your grant applications is May 3rd at Noon. Time is short. This allows all grants from both rounds to follow the same project completion, final report and project presentation timeline. Please feel free to share this announcement with others.
Grant Overview:
Grant funds are now available for organizations, schools, and individuals to work collaboratively with the Chambers-Clover Creek (CCWC) Watershed Council on drainage, water quality, and habitat issues within our watershed. Such projects may include watershed education, enhancement and restoration activities, and purchase of equipment and supplies. The maximum grant amount is $2,000 per project, but you are encouraged to apply for less if your project does not require the full amount.
How to Apply? (It’s easy!)
This grant is only available for projects in the CCWC Watershed.
