2008 Small Grant Program


Are you a farmer wanting to install an efficient irrigation system but can't afford the entire cost? Are you a land owner wanting to remove invasive tamarisk trees and need financial assistance? Do you represent an irrigation company that wants to line a leaky irrigation ditch?

These are just some of the projects that have received monies from the Colorado River District's Grant Program. Since its inception 10 years ago, the program has distributed more than $1.3 million of matching grants to individuals, companies, municipalities and others.

The program supports projects within the district's 15-county area that:
•    Develop new water supplies
•    Improve an existing water supply system
•    Improve instream water quality
•    Promote water use efficiency
•    Reduce sediment
•    Implement watershed management actions
•    Control tamarisk, a non-native plant that grows along streambeds

Applicants should submit a completed a grant request form and supporting documents by Jan. 31, 2008.
