Amount: Up to $75,000
Deadline: Aug. 22, 2019
“This funding opportunity through the Chesapeake Bay Trust (the Trust) and in partnership with the City of Baltimore Department of Public Works, Charles County, the City of Gaithersburg, Harford County, Howard County, Queen Anne’s County, and the City of Salisbury, and aims to engage a diverse range of organizations, both with community-related missions and focused environmental missions, to facilitate projects that enhance communities, involve residents, and improve natural resources. The Outreach and Restoration grant program welcomes applications for projects across the state of Maryland.
This Program was established to provide accessible funds to organizations and agencies to implement community-led stewardship efforts that increase public understanding of environmental challenges; implement demonstration-scale, community-based, on-the-ground restoration projects; and expand the base of public support necessary to advance the restoration of Maryland’s bays, tributaries, and other natural resources.
Track 1: Outreach projects should: Increase public knowledge and engagement in the challenges and solutions to restoring Maryland’s natural resources: local green spaces from urban to rural, parks, streams, rivers, and bays.
Track 2: Restoration projects should: Engage people in on-the-ground communitybased projects that benefit both the community and the quality of one or more natural resources (examples: water quality, tree canopy, and habitat).
Track 3: Outreach and Restoration projects should: Combine the goals for both tracks above in order to achieve increased meaningful and measurable outcomes.”
