The Western New York Great Lakes Restoration Grant Program (WNYGLRGP) is a new grant program funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) to build capacity and accelerate environmental and ecological restoration in Niagara River/Lake Erie watershed communities.
The goal of this program is to advance GLRI measures of progress and to provide financial resources, technical assistance, and capacity building help for local organizations to implement in-the-ground and in-the-water restoration and protection projects. The program will fund projects ranging from $25,000 to $500,000 that address invasive species, habitat restoration, or nonpoint source water pollution.
This funding opportunity will be available for non-profit organizations, tribal governments, municipal governments, quasi-municipal agencies, public or non-profit institutes of education, community groups partnered with one of these organizations, or partnerships between any of these organizations.
