Summary
This grant opportunity supports projects throughout the Chesapeake Bay watershed region (including Maryland, portions of Washington D.C., Delaware, Virginia, West Virginia, etc.). It is designed to provide funding to nonprofit organizations, community groups, local governments, and in some cases small businesses or schools, depending on the specific program.
The intent of the funds is to enable actions that restore and protect natural resources, promote environmental education, engage communities in hands-on work, enhance habitat and water quality, and build local capacity. Projects might include installing green infrastructure, planting trees in underserved neighborhoods, restoring streams or wetlands, developing youth environmental programs, or strengthening an organization’s operations to support stewardship over the long term.
As a benefit, recipients receive financial support ranging from small grants (a few thousand dollars) for community-scale initiatives to larger awards (tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars) for watershed restoration or outreach programs. This flexibility allows for a wide variety of project sizes and scopes. In addition to funding, applicants often gain access to applicant resources, reporting support, and a peer network of other awardees.
The grant interest centers on work that helps improve water quality, bolster resilience to climate change, engage historically underserved communities, and generate measurable environmental or community outcomes. Eligible applicants typically must operate within the defined region and align their proposal with the mission of supporting natural resource and community health. Deadlines vary by program — some are on specific dates each year, others operate on rolling schedules.
Eligible applicants in Delaware with a demonstrated commitment to Non-Profit Support Services are encouraged to consider this funding opportunity. To identify additional grants aligned with your needs, visit The Grant Portal and utilize the Search Grant tool for tailored results.
