While the Rivers & Trails program
doesn't offer grants or funding, we can suggest good
funding sources.
To help you get started, here's a list
of organizations that offer financial support for locally-led
conservation projects. For more information, contact
the organization directly or contact the Rivers
& Trails office nearest you.
Also, check out Conservation
Assistance Tools, currently maintained by Red Lodge Clearinghouse. It's a searchable a database of
grants, cost sharing, and technical assistance designed
to help local communities reach the information, potential
partners, and financial support needed to complete grassroots
conservation projects in the western United States.
Another great source is the Rails-to-Trails
Conservancy's Trail
& Greenway Funding Guide. Click on Technical
Assistance and then Funding Database to reach this searchable
database that contains information about a variety of
federal, state and private funding sources for trails
and greenways.
For River-related grant opportunities, the NPS has an online listing of River Conservation Grant Opportunities.
For youth-related grant opportunities, visit our Kids to Conservation website.
