Apply for Chesapeake Bay Trust Maintenance Small Grants Program
The Chesapeake Bay Trust is excited to announce a pilot program to tackle maintenance on small-scale restoration projects in Maryland. This program will focus on projects that are $500 or less, specifically for invasive species removal/control and/or plant replacements/enhancements.
Watershed restoration projects like tree planting, rain gardens, bioswales, conservation landscaping, pollinator habitat, and stream buffers generally have two phases: 1) installation and 2) operation and maintenance for the lifespan of the project. Maintaining projects keeps them functioning as designed and ensures aesthetic value, which maintains public support for these investments. We want restoration practices to clean water, cool neighborhoods, and provide habitat benefits long after installation.
Where and what does this program support: Projects in Maryland only. Proposals can only request funds for maintenance on project sites that were previously installed restoration practices. The proposed project site does not need to have been previously funded by the Chesapeake Bay Trust to be eligible.
Who can apply: Homeowners associations, civic groups, youth and service organizations, and other community-based associations; faith-based groups, watershed organizations and other nonprofits, schools; and small municipalities (population less than 5,000).
Funding available: There is $8,000 available in funding; however, applicants can only apply for $500 at a time. Additionally, for this first year, no more than two applications will be awarded to an organization.
Program Deadline: Rolling until funds are expended
