Rose Foundation for Communities and the Environment invites applications for Central Coast Community-Based Water Quality Grants Program
The Rose Foundation for Communities and the Environment invites applications for the Central Coast Community-Based Water Quality Grants Program, which will support a range of environmental justice, water quality, and climate resiliency projects relating to water supply across California’s Central Coast.
Preferred topic areas include the human right to water, environmental justice and local environmental justice capacity, water-quality impacts of climate change, drought-related water supply resiliency projects, climate adaptation and mitigation projects, sustainable drinking water or wastewater treatment solutions, sustainable groundwater management strategies, and providing benefits to underrepresented communities.
Two grant tracks will be offered for this fund. Smaller, community-based applicants are encouraged to apply for grants of $20,000 to $50,000, while larger organizations and state agencies are encouraged to apply for grants of $100,000 to $200,000. Large grant requests must demonstrate at least 25 percent of match funding to be successful.
Projects must take place within the Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board’s jurisdiction (Region 3), which includes southern Santa Clara (Morgan Hill and south), Santa Cruz, San Benito, Monterey, San Luis Obispo, and Santa Barbara counties, and small portions of Ventura, Kern, and San Mateo counties.
Eligible applicants include 501(c)(3) nonprofits, federally or state recognized Indian tribes, and public agencies.
