Accepting applications: Dec. 1, 2009 - Jan. 31, 2010
Effective October 2009 our two grant programs (small and large) were combined into one program governed by similar policies and with an increased annual funding of $250,000 per year.
We will maintain previous grant program objectives by focusing on the core mission of:
- developing new water supplies
- improving existing water supply projects
- improving water use efficiency
- improving water quality
- improving sediment control
- undertaking a watershed action
- implementing tamarisk control
- protecting pre-1922 Colorado River compact water rights (new objective)
The grant application process will remain mostly unchanged from previous years with an application period that will be open from December 1, 2009 to January 31, 2010. The three step evaluation process (staff ranking, board sub committee review and finally full board action) to fund approved grant proposals is to be completed in April 2010.
