Conservation Grants
The CHNEP provides Conservation Grants to support portions of larger projects that implement our Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan (CCMP). We require at least a 50% match of our funds. Preference will be given to projects in communities that have been historically underserved by CHNEP grants. As of 2001, Micro-grants have been offered to help establish and maintain environmental education efforts and further partnerships to help implement the CCMP. We encourage requests for funding in the $500 to $3,000 range. This is a cost reimbursement grant.
Spring Deadline is April 1, 2020 for June 2020 award notice
