Apply for grant

The Wetland Recovery Project's (WRP) Request for Proposals (RFP) for the 2007-2008 Community Wetland Restoration Grants is now posted on the WRP's website - www.scwrp.org, under "What's New". The due date for Community Wetland Restoration Proposals is March 28, 2008. Applications must be post-marked by March 28, 2008. The Small Grants Program provides grants of $1,000 - $30,000 for community-based restoration projects in coastal wetlands and watersheds in the region. The purpose of the program is to further the goals of the WRP Regional Strategy; build local capacity to plan and implement wetland restoration projects; promote community involvement in wetland restoration activities; and foster education about wetland ecosystems. The RFP includes program information, application guidelines, and an application template. Contained in the application guidelines are the criteria that will be used to evaluate proposals, and the schedule for review and approval of potential projects. Projects funded in past cycles of the Program can be found on the WRP website: under “Projects and Planning”, then “Small Grants Program”. Moreover, documentation, including proposals, progress reports, and photographs, from a number of highlighted Community Wetland Restoration projects can be found on the Small Grants Program page of the WRP website. These materials may be helpful to an applicant.
