The MWCC Watershed Fund has funding to help our local watershed conservation partners develop the organizational capacity necessary to achieve community conservation goals. Projects must directly relate to community-led solutions using the Watershed Approach to conservation, and must also demonstrate a strong connection between organizational or community capacity and improved watershed health. Maximum awards range from $5,000-$8,000, depending on funding availability.
The next round of funding, 2025 Spring Capacity Support, is now available!
