Directory of Watershed Funding Resources
About the Directory
Communities across the country face a range of complex funding challenges as they
attempt to meet the demands of environmental protection. The Environmental Finance
Center (EFC) at Boise State University assists local communities in finding creative
funding solutions to support their own plans for environmental protection. As part of this
effort, the EFC provides watershed stakeholders with the funding information they need
to make decisions and protect their resource.
There is a tremendous volume of information available for funding watershed
restoration. However, finding and sorting through this information can be a daunting
task. In an effort to address this need, the EFC has created an on-line, searchable
database for watershed restoration funding. The database includes information on
funding programs available for federal, state (Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Alaska),
private, and other funding sources. Users can query the information in a variety of ways
including agency sponsor, keyword, or by a detailed search. At the end of a query, a
brief description of each matching program will be displayed. When a specific program
is selected, a detailed page of that program will be displayed and can be printed.

Environmental Grants
Funding Areas
The Brainerd Foundation's mission is to protect the environmental quality of the Pacific
Northwest and to build broad citizen support for environmental protection. We
accomplish this in part by making grants within our two program areas, Endangered
Ecosystems and Communications and Capacity Building.
Successful applicants for grant funding from either of our two program areas will be
involved in direct efforts to defend endangered ecosystems or in programs that
augment regional conservation efforts within our geographic funding region.
It is critical that applicants are accounting for (he current political reality. The Brainerd
Foundation is placing increased emphases on protecting our bedrock environmental
laws and pursuing the most effective and innovative approaches to the new economic
and policy challenges before us. Support will go to efforts that show strong cooperation
and collaboration to make the most of scarce resources.
The information provided here should help prospective grantees determine whether
their endeavors are a good fit with Brainerd Foundation funding areas.

Charlotte Martin Foundation
Title	Wildlife and Habitat Preservation Grants
Description:	What We Believe
As development pressures increase, the stewardship of
vital ecosystems is critical for protecting species,
populations and habitats. The need exists to preserve
land, through acquisition, easements and other
conservation approaches. Applied science and research
are important tools for preserving, protecting, and
restoring all forms of wildlife and habitat, as is
understanding the complexity and interdependence of all
life. The concept of sustainability recognizes that
environment, economics and equity must be considered
together in order to protect the quality of life at every
level.
What We Support
1 Only those organizations whose missions are dedicated to preservation, protection
or perpetuation of wildlife and /or habitat may apply for funding.
2. Protecting habitat sites and wildlife corridors whose conservation value is based on
scientific assessment.
Our current focus is:
1.	Projects that are part of an established strategy or design.
2.	Collaborative efforts that involve other organizations, funders, non-profits and
agencies that are similarly dedicated to our mission.
Applying for a Charlotte Martin Foundation grant is easy!
Step 1 takes you through the eligibility process, then review Step 2, gather your
information, and click APPLY ONLINE (enter as a "new online applicant" and create

Title:	Community Watershed Stewardship Grants Program
Description:	Stewardship is people working together to improve the health of
streams, neighborhoods and natural areas. The quality of water in our
rivers and streams can be greatly improved when thousands of
individuals take simple steps to reduce water pollution. This is the
basis of the principle of stewardship. We are all responsible for doing
our part to take care of the watershed, and the world, that we share.
Watershed Stewardship Grants
Maintaining a healthy watershed takes the efforts of everyone who lives, works and
plays in that watershed. Environmental Services helps people help our streams. Our
watershed stewardship grants provide up to $5,000 to citizens and organizations to
encourage watershed protection and enhancement at the local level. Grant money can
be used for supplies, materials, equipment, room rentals, feasibility studies or technical
assistance.

Description:	Grants to teachers in Oregon for Field Based Ecology
Ecological Studies Grants
The Diack Ecology Education Program was
established in 1993 by the late Dr. Arch Diack and his
family. Funds are awarded to assist "hands-on"
programs which involve Oregon children, K-12 in
regularly scheduled field based study which emphases
analytical thought, especially programs in which the
students' work has community visibility and is
connected to community interest or goals.
Grants usually do not exceed $1,500 and are
awarded for projects which study any aspect of the
local environment by taking advantage of close study
opportunities. Funds have been used for a variety of
items such as microscopes, safety glasses, soil test
kits, rock hammers, boots, field study books, cameras,
back packs, compasses, binoculars, water test kits,
specimen collection supplies, etc.
The Diack Program especially supports projects which will become part of the weekly

Environmental Grants
The Educational Foundation of America (EFA) makes grants to qualifying non-profit
organizations that have tax-exempt status and those that are not private foundations as
defined in the Internal Revenue Code. EFA provides grants for specific projects.
It does not provide funds for endowment or endowed faculty chairs, building/capital
programs, religious purposes, grants to individuals, annual fund-raising campaigns,
indirect costs, overhead or general support. The Foundation prefers not to fund projects
located outside the United States.
Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the environment, the crisis of human
overpopulation and reproductive freedom. Native Americans, arts, education, medicine,
and human services.
Important characteristics considered by EFA are an organization's record of
achievement, intended broad impact, sound financial practices, increasing
independence, and correspondence with EFA objectives. Unfortunately, many worthy
requests are denied because needs exceed the Foundation's resources or a given
project does not fall within a current area of focus.
Letters of Inquiry are restricted to a maximum of two
pages printed back to back on one sheet of
unbleached, recycled paper.
EFA welcomes Letters of Inquiry at any time. There are no deadlines. All Letters of
Inquiry should be addressed to: Diane M. Allison, Executive Director

Environmental Justice Grants
This web site contains information on various EPA environmental justice (EJ) grant
programs. The grant programs discussed in this document are those which are
specifically designed to address EJ concerns and issues. Other EPA grant programs
may fund EJ projects and activities as well.

EPA Environmental Justice Grants Programs
EJ Small Grants Program
Program Overview:
The Office of Environmental Justice's Small Grants Program was established in
1994 to provide financial assistance to eligible community groups (i.e., community-
based/ grassroots organizations, churches, schools, other non-profit organizations,
local governments, tribal governments that are working on or plan to carry out projects
to address environmental justice issues. The guidance provided below outlines the
goals and general procedures for applicants and awards.
Community/University Partnership (CUP) Grants Program
Program Overview:
The emphasis of this grants program is on meaningful, two-way cooperation between
communities or tribes and institutions of higher education serving minority and
low-income communities or tribes in order to address environmental justice issues.
Partnerships must be established with formal agreements (i.e. Memorandum of
Agreements) between at least one College/University and at least one socio-
economically disadvantaged community or tribes which is adversely impacted by an
environmental hazard and public health concerns. These partnerships become the
catalyst for increasing environmental awareness and involvement in resolving
environmental problems, such as exposure to environmental pollutants in minority and
low-income communities and on Tribal lands.

Community-based Habitat Restoration Fundings
October 2003 Request for Proposals — FishAmerica
announces available funding for community-based
marine and anadromous fish habitat restoration
projects. Proposals are due November 25, 2003.
A nonprofit conservation-oriented organization that focuses on both fresh and saltwater
environments, the Foundation's goals include:
•	Combating threats to water quality,
•	Stemming shrinking fish populations,
•	Improving the opportunity for sportfishing success, and
•	Assisting local volunteer groups without species or geographic preferences.
Rather than their size and scale, it is the creative and effective use of FishAmerica
monies that constitutes the real potential of our philanthropy. "It doesn't always take big
dollars to make a big difference."
Eligible Projects:
Projects must result in on-the-ground habitat restoration, clearly demonstrate significant
benefits to marine, estuarine or anadromous fisheries resources, particularly sportfish,
and must involve community participation through an educational or volunteer
component tied to the restoration activities. Where possible, participation of NOAA staff
is encouraged to strengthen the development and and implementation of sound
restoration projects.
Eligible Applicants:
Non-profit and not-for-profit organizations such as local sporting clubs and conservation
associations and local and state govenments may apply for funding. We encourage
local chapters of the Coastal Conservation Association to apply.

Laird Norton Endowment Foundation
Title:	Laird Norton Grants in the Area of Sustainable Forestry
Description:	Our present funding focus is on sustainable forestry.
Through the year 2004, Laird Norton Endowment Foundation will be funding in the area
of sustainable forestry. By sustainable forestry, we mean the practice of forestry that
restores, enhances, and then sustains a full range of forest values, ecological, social,
and economics. Other common names for this practice are ecoforestry, low-impact
forestry, new forestry, and forest stewardship. The practice is in contrast to the
industrial forestry that was the model in the United States for much of the 20th Century.
Our definition of sustainable forestry is one that generally includes the harvest of forest
products. This definition reflects both economic necessity and our family heritage.
Although we understand the significance of "forest preservation" efforts, they are not in
our funding focus. Instead, we seek to foster an approach to forestry that includes the
ecological, social, and economic concerns of forest dependent communities. (See
website for further clarification.)
We will announce our next funding focus in November 2004. The first granting cycle for
this focus will be Spring 2005.

FOUNDATION
Guidelines for Proposals
The National Forest Foundation (NFF) is a private, nonprofit 501(c)(3) tax-exempt
organization dedicated to safeguarding our National Forests and Grasslands by building
action-oriented partnerships with local communities that result in lasting conservation
Through our Matching Awards Program (MAP), nonprofit organizations, educational
institutions, and state and local governments can apply for funding twice a year. The
program requires that every dollar invested be matched with private, non-federal funds,
effectively doubling the total contribution to local conservation initiatives that address
the issues directly affecting forest health.
The successful re-initiation of the MAP in 2001, rearranged our efforts to focus on four
strategically located geographic areas, chosen according to levels of demographic
pressure, biodiversity, and community capacity. These areas are: the Central Colorado
Rockies; Oregon Coast and Central Cascades; the Selway- Bitterroot; and the Southern
Appalachians. The MAP projects in each of these areas address issues which the NFF
has identified as vital programmatic priorities; community-based forest stewardship,
recreational opportunities enhancement, watershed health and restoration, and wildlife
habitat improvement in measurable ways. MAP projects must be completed on or
adjacent to National Forests and Grasslands.
Who Can Apply:
Applications will be accepted from non-federal partners, community-based
organizations, Native American tribes, educational institutions, and other non-profit
501(c)(3) organizations

Toyota TAPESTRY Grants for Teachers
Introduction Over the past 12 years, the Toyota TAPESTRY grant program,
sponsored by Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. and administered by the National
Science Teachers Association, has awarded 552 grants totaling over $5 million to
teachers in the United States and U.S. Territories. This year, 50 grants of up to $10,000
each and a minimum of 20 "mini-grants" of $2,500 each are available to K-12 teachers
of science.
Eligibility Open to K-12 teachers of science residing in the United States or U.S.
territories or possessions. All middle and high school science teachers and elementary
teachers who teach some science in the classroom are eligible. "Science teacher" is
defined as anyone who spends at least 50% of his/her classroom time teaching science
or teaches a minimum of two science classes per day. Elementary teachers who teach
science in a self-contained classroom setting or as teaching specialists are eligible.
Program Summary Proposals must describe a project including its potential impact
on Students, and a budget up to $10,000 up to $2,500 for mini-grants). Toyota
TAPESTRY grants will be awarded in three categories:

Description:
Grants & Fellowships
Oregon Sea Grant provides a variety of competitive and noncompetitive funding
opportunities for university-based research and outreach faculty who seek to address
questions related to ocean or coastal science. Projects often involve collaboration with
scientists from public and private agencies, and from other parts of the world. In
addition, Sea Grant offers a variety of fellowship opportunities to qualified graduate
students.
In recent years, flat funding and increased costs have resulted in a marked reduction in
the number of projects Sea Grant is able to fund. In the fall of 2002, researchers and
other interested parties were invited to discuss this dilemma and make suggestions for
change. Those considering applying for Sea Grant support are strongly urged to read
the synopsis of their discussions, recommendations and resulting changes to our
funding process.
Please bookmark this page as your entry point for detailed information about applying
for, managing and reporting on grants and fellowships available through Oregon Sea
Grant.

Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board
OWEB Small Grant Program
On January 10, 2002, the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board adopted
administrative rules establishing a small grant program, and committed $2.8 million in
funding to the program through the end of the biennium in June 2003. The small grant
program responds to a need for local decision making about restoration priorities, on a
shorter timeframe than provided under OWEB's current program. The program enables
up to 28 small grant teams around the state made up of local soil and water
conservation district, watershed council and tribal representatives to award small
restoration project grants up to $10,000 for eligible projects.
Projects eligible for funding through a small grant are watershed restoration and
enhancement projects on forest, agricultural, range, urban, and rural residential lands
that use existing technical guidance. A small grant award is limited to $10,000 per
project and requires at least a 25% non-OWEB match. While small grants are awarded
locally through a small grant team, funds will be disbursed from OWEB directly to the
grant recipient.
Guidance fnaterials have been developed to help the Small Grant Teams form and
begin awarding small grants. Before a Team can award small grants, they must first
develop operating procedures and a list of eligible project types.
For more information on the small grant program, please contact the following Grant

Title:
Description:
The Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board would like to thank the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Bureau of Land Management for
helping fund this project.
Local citizens and organizations understand best the type of enhancement work that is
needed in their watershed. However, financial constraints or difficulty locating
appropriate funds may prevent them from undertaking projects or activities. The intent
of the Funding Directory is to help the people of Oregon, from watershed councils to
local government to private landowners, find money to support their conservation
efforts. To create the Funding Directory the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board
compiled information on federal and state grants available for watershed protection and
restoration in Oregon. Public funds may be a significant source of assistance necessary
to leverage additional private funds. This directory is a convenient means to identify
federal and state financial aid that you or your organization may be eligible for.
In order to make good use of this information please keep the following in mind: OWEB
will update program information periodically, but not frequently; OWEB has extracted
only basic information on each grant program; application deadlines, program criteria,
and other essential information may change any given year or funding cycle. For these
reasons, always contact the grant sponsor for current and detailed information.
This initial version of the OWEB Funding Directory contains only federal and state grant
programs. Many public agencies also have tax incentive or loan programs. Be sure to
also explore these opportunities with an agency representative. To learn more about
private grants and other financial assistance please see the Guide to Other Resources.
The information presented herein reflects data available during Fall 2001. To submit
updated and new program information please use the Update Form. Comments to
OWEB regarding the utility of this directory are appreciated.

Title:	2003-2004 Native Plant Conservation Initiative
Description:
The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, in partnership with the Plant Conservation
Alliance, is pleased to announce a Request for Proposals for the 2003-2004 Native
Plant Conservation Initiative (NPCI). Through this initiative, grants of federal dollars will
be provided to non-profit organizations and agencies at all levels of government6 to
promote the conservation of native plants. This Request for Proposals includes two
separate grant cycles, with application dates in December 2003 and July 2004.
NPCI grants are modest, ranging from $5,000 to $40,000 with an average grant size of
$15,000. It is expected that all grant funds will be matched by non-federal contributions
from project partners. In-kind contributions of goods or services are eligible as match for
this program.
There is a strong preference for "on-the-ground" projects that involve local communities
and citizen volunteers in the restoration of native plant communities. Projects that
include a pollinator conservation component are also encouraged.
NPCI funds cannot be used for direct land acquisition costs or political advocacy. Basic
research projects are unlikely to be funded unless of direct relevance to the
management of native plants by a participating federal agency. Projects that primarily
involve the control of invasive or noxious weeds should consider the Foundation's
Pulling Together Initiative, rather than NPCI.

WE1
Public involvement
and Education
The Public Involvement and Education Fund (PIE) program is one of
the most powerful tools available for protecting and improving Puget
Sound's water quality and marine resources. PIE dollars help communities, businesses,
non-profits, and local and tribal governments to:
•	create solutions to local pollution problems;
•	protect, preserve and restore habitat;
•	motivate people to be environmental stewards; and
•	partner with others for lasting results.
The PIE Fund is not a grant program. Rather, through personal services contracts, the
Puget Sound Water Quality Action Team obtains the services of individuals and
organizations to educate and involve residents of Puget Sound as they carry out the
2001-2003 Puget Sound Water Quality Work Plan. Services provided under contract
are compensated on a reimbursement basis. The Action Team staff provides guidance
on fulfilling a state contract, as well as technical information and advice related to the
project.
If the legislature approves funding for the 2003 - 2005 biennium, the request for
proposals (RFP) for Round 14 of PIE will be distributed during the summer of 2003. If
you would like to receive notification of Round 14. e-mail or phone your contact
information to gwilliams@psat.wa.gov, 360-407-7311. To help you decide if PIE is the
right program to fund your project, read through the current and past PIE project

The Russell Family Foundation
Title:	Education and Environmental Sustainability Grants
Description:	TRFF focuses on two interest areas: environmental sustainability and education. We
grant $4,500,000 per year, with typical grants ranging from $5,000 to $50,000. The
majority of our grants support specific programs, but we also consider requests for
general operating funds and, occasionally, capital gifts.
Education
Education proposals are accepted by invitation only at this time. TRFF is currently
defining its general education program and is not considering unsolicited proposals.
Environmental education requests are eligible now if they fit the interests described in
our Environmental Sustainability guidelines.
Environment Sustainability
The 2003 deadlines for Environmental Sustainability Letters of Inquiry are (postmarked
by) January 10, May 1, and August 1.
The Russell Family Foundation's goal for Environmental Sustainability is to protect,
restore, and enhance the waters of Puget Sound. All projects should be directly related
to Puget Sound water quality, quantity, and life. We believe that an effective
stewardship ethic balances environmental health, economic sustainability, and social
justice. We are particularly interested in projects that encompass these three elements.
With our focus on the waters of Puget Sound, we make grants in two areas:
Environmental Education and Sustainable Business.

WATERSHED EDUCATION ALLIANCE
The Watershed Education Alliance was begun in 1992 with a grant from the EPA. It
began as a group of 29 schools that participated in water quality testing, tree plantings
as parts of restoration projects, journaling at selected sites, and soil testing. Teachers
were able to select the methods that suited their curriculum and learning objectives,
there was lots of preparation provided by the District staff in the classroom, and classes
made several trips to the field. Busses and substitute reimbursement was paid by the
EPA grant and later by the District's educational budget. A key element was the youth
conference at the end of each school year where students from different schools shared
with each other what they had been doing throughout the field season. Follow the link to
for a similar opportunity for students.
The Alliance is still very active but has changed over the years to reflect the needs of
the school and teachers. Not so much District staff time is now used in preparation for
field outings, because teachers are confident in their own grasp of the material. But we
still provide some actual assistance, equipment loans, grant writing assistance
so schools can be financially responsible for their own projects and if needed, all
of the funding to make the field trips possible. So the Alliance has evolved from a
program that provided a step-by-step road map to schools and teachers to one of
seed money and technical assistance.

Wal-Mart Foundation
Environmental Grants for Schools
At Wall-Mart, we believe it is our responsibility to join and support the collective efforts
to protect and preserve our natural resources. One great way is by encouraging the
youth in our communities to take action utilizing the Wal-Mart Environmental Grants.
Wal-Mart and SAM'S CLUB provides grants to local schools to support environmental
projects and education in communities where our stores are located. On Earth Day,
associates nationwide announced the names of local schools receiving an
environmental grant earmarked for a project that will benefit their community. This year
alone, we will contribute more than $1.7 million to local schools through our
Environmental Grants.
All requests for funding must be directed through our Wal-Mart Stores, SAM'S
CLUBS, Neighborhood Markets and Distribution Centers. Proposals mailed directly
to the Wal-Mart Foundation will not be considered.

Title:	Terry Husseman Sustainable Schools Awards
Description:	The Sustainable Schools Awards program reflects our vision of a sustainable
environment. We hope these awards will encourage Washington State public schools to
continue having positive impact by embracing the concept of environmental
sustainability.
If your school has been participating in resource conservation and sustainability, or is
interested in participating then it could be eligible for a award from Ecology. The Terry
Husseman Sustainable School Awards program (originally called the Outstanding
Waste Reduction and Recycling Awards) has evolved in pace with changing policies
and practices in both the public and the private sectors. The importance of waste
reduction as a facet of a fully developed resource conservation or sustainability program
continues to grow. This award program recognizes Washington State Public schools for
their successes managing materials and wastes in a sustainable fashion. Ecology plans
to distribute as much as $20,000 among the winners in a particular year.
Applications will be due February 25, 2004 and we will notify participants in April.
The awards are presented at a semi-formal ceremony hosted by the Department
of Ecology in early May.
For more information on the awards program, criteria, or ideas to foster sustainability in
your school, contact our Awards Coordinator, Michelle Payne, mdav461 @ecy.wa.gov or
(360) 407-6129. The Awards Coordinator is available to help guide you through the
application process, to provide you with local resources, and to answer any questions
you may have about the awards program.

Grant Application Guidelines
Our grants have ranged in size from $200 to $2000. We make grant decisions
throughout the year at Board meetings that occur every six to eight weeks.
Funding Goals
WFFE is primary focus is on environmental education. We are interested in funding the
following sorts of projects and organizations:
Educational efforts such as workshops, institutes, conferences, and exhibits, which hold
the promise of increasing public awareness of, or stimulating productive public debate
with respect to, significant environmental issues. Also considered are grants for
individual and group scholarships to attend worthwhile conferences and educational
programs;
Environmental projects which have one or more of the following features: (a) the project
has come together in a way that is instructive, perhaps representing a significant
success of grassroots efforts, or the assembly of an unlikely but necessary coalition; (b)
the project could have a significant positive effect on public awareness of environmental
issues or on the encouragement of other preservation or reclamation efforts; (c) the
project will involve imaginative technical approaches that would make its success
instructive; (d) the proposed uses of the project site and access to it will result in
education about environmental matters.

Wilburforce Foundation is dedicated to protecting nature's richness and diversity
through funding programs that help preserve our remaining wild places.
Wilburforce Foundation funds projects and programs that lead to the following
outcomes:
•	Increase the amount of protected critical wildlife habitat, and assure the quality
and extent of connective corridors between protected areas.
•	Decrease activities that are inconsistent with the protection of critical habitat,
including, but not limited to, road building and other human development in pristine
places, motorized activity in ecologically sensitive areas, and industrial-scale resource
extraction.
•	Create or improve management programs that preserve the ecological integrity
of existing or proposed protected areas.
•	Increase knowledge of wildlife populations and improve management plans that
ensure the viability of endangered, threatened or indicator species in the region.
We focus our funding on organizations that work to protect habitats that are critically
important to sustaining abundant ecological communities in Western Canada and the
Western United States. Within this geographic area, we have identified specific
ecologically significant and intact natural habitats as priorities for our funding. For more
detailed information about our funding goals and objectives, please see our Strategic
Framework.

William C. Kenney Watershed Protection Foundation
Title:	Fundings to Protect, Preserve and Restore Watersheds in the West
Description:	The Kenney Foundation supports two types of outcome-based, multi-constituency
campaigns for protection of wild rivers in the Western United States and British
Columbia:
1.	Place-based campaigns focused on a specific western river or river system
2.	Policy development campaigns working on regional or national policies and laws
The Foundation defines a campaign as a focused, outcome-based strategic initiative
designed to catalyze change on a local, regional and potentially national scale. As a
small foundation with a small staff, we focus our efforts on multi-constituency
campaigns we believe offer the greatest opportunity both to protect and restore key
rivers and watersheds and to develop new models for equitable and sustainable water
use. In 2003, the Foundation plans to assist 8-10 campaigns in scoping (coalition
development) activities and award 2-3 campaign development grants.
In these perilous times - with groups struggling under the onslaught of environmental
protection roll-backs and a decreased funding base — we are acutely aware of the
need to commit our resources where we can provide the greatest impact.
There is no deadline for grant inquiries.
