Watershed Institute Grant Program

Now in its 9th year, the Watershed Institute Grant Program aims to help small, citizen-based watershed groups establish themselves as independent and self-sustaining organizations with robust programs that protect and restore New Jersey's natural resources. Awards target projects that will strengthen organizational capacity and protect the environment. This grant program is made possible by funding from the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection.
