2024 Proposal Eligibility
CRWD is committed to engaging new and historically underrepresented groups and believes we can achieve cleaner waters through engagement across all communities. All proposed projects must serve residents within CRWD’s boundaries. Visit the About CRWD page and scroll down to view a map of the District. Proposals that take place in or serve residents from the Trout Brook, Phalen Creek, Saint Anthony Hill, Como Lake or Lake McCarrons watersheds will be given additional consideration. Organizations serving other areas in the District are still eligible to apply.
Review the following regarding CRWD’s Partner Grant application and review process. This information is also noted throughout the online application.
- First-time grantees can apply for $5,000 – $10,000.
- Repeat grantees can apply for $5,000-$20,000.
- Applicants should only include deliverables and outcomes expected as a result of CRWD funding. This information will be used in part to determine the cost per participant and to compare project deliverables across proposals during the review process.
- Each task will receive full or no funding. Applicants should develop a task description (up to four total) for each unique activity that includes all deliverables and outcomes. Applications will be reviewed based only on the content you provide.
Grants are funded on a reimbursement basis upon project completion and receipt of a report no later than the end of the calendar year. Liability insurance is required for all grantees. Please review our Partner Grant Agreement PDF and terms before applying.
