Community Stormwater Solutions RFA

Thursday, November 30, 2017

DOEE solicits grant applications from eligible entities (called “Applicants”).  The goals of this Request for Applications (RFA) are to protect and enhance, directly or indirectly, the District’s water bodies or watersheds. Projects should raise awareness and lead to behavior change around watershed and stormwater-related issues, through education, installation and maintenance of runoff reducing green infrastructure, art installations, or another means as described in Section 1.6 of the RFA. Another goal is to create new community partners and strengthen existing relationships.  Projects should be inspired and supported by the target community.  The amount available for the project is approximately $200,000. DOEE will award multiple grants of up to $20,000.  The deadline for application submissions is January 26, 2018, at 6:00 P.M.
