This funding is intended to help improve the health of natural waterways and surrounding landscapes. Eligible projects may involve restoring stream channels, stabilizing eroding banks, planting native vegetation, upgrading stormwater infrastructure like culverts, or launching local education initiatives to raise awareness about stream protection and water quality. The goal is to support on-the-ground actions that make a real difference in protecting water resources, reducing erosion, and enhancing wildlife habitat.
The grant is available only to specific conservation-focused public entities operating within the state. It is not open to individuals or private businesses, and applicants must be able to demonstrate experience managing land or water-based projects. Proposals should align with the broader goals of climate resilience, water quality improvement, and public engagement in environmental stewardship.
Projects can run for up to three years and must take place entirely within the state’s borders. Applicants are encouraged to propose work that is collaborative, impactful, and achievable within the funding period. Priority may be given to proposals that serve vulnerable or high-risk areas impacted by environmental change.
This funding offers a valuable opportunity for public conservation groups to launch or expand efforts that protect streams and strengthen communities’ relationship with their natural environment. The application deadline is set toward the end of the year, and award announcements are expected in early spring.
Eligible applicants in New York with a demonstrated commitment to Natural Resources 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.
