Grants for Local Partners
Since 1999, New York State DEC's Hudson River Estuary Program has offered approximately $1 million annually in grants to municipalities and non-profits located within its Estuary Watershed Boundaries (2 page pdf, 1 MB). Over the past 9 years over $11.5 million has been distributed to 342 applicants. The funding for this program is from New York State's Environmental Protection Fund (EPF).
The Estuary Grants were created to help fulfill those goals of the Hudson River Estuary Action Agenda that can be implemented most effectively by municipalities, not for profits, and other local partners. Estuary grants are offered in five categories:
- Community Interpretive Centers and Education
- Open Space Planning and Acquisition
- Community-based Habitat Conservation and Stewardship
- Watershed Planning and Implementation
- Hudson River Access
Each of these categories has its own scoring criteria and geographic requirements. The staff of the estuary program are available to work with applicants to help guide them toward a successful application.
