Watershed Fund Project Support

The MWCC Watershed Fund provides competitive funding to assist our community-based watershed partners with implementing on-the-ground projects to benefit water quality, water quantity, natural resources, conservation stewardship, community health, and local livelihoods. The shared principles of the Watershed Approach provide a framework under which watershed organizations may successfully define and pursue the conservation goals that best serve their geographic communities. Project support opportunities vary, with different requirements for match, reporting, and reimbursement.

MWCC is currently seeking new project funders in 2024!

Are you, your foundation, or business looking to contribute to natural resource conservation in Montana?

Charitable and sponsorship gifts to the MWCC Watershed Fund provide direct funding and technical support to community-based conservation groups we support, allowing them to make significant strides in protecting our natural resources. Sign up for an informational meeting.

Current Funding: *coming Fall 2024

MWCC is excited to share that we will partner with JSI Research and Training Institute and several other partners in EPA Region 8 to create a multi-year equitable and inclusive granting process to fund Environmental Justice projects. We look forward to keeping you updated on the connections we make in bringing funding to Montana through this opportunity! The EPA’s proposed timeline shows grants becoming available as early as Summer 2024.
