Special Opportunity Grants (Emergency Grants)

Deadline: None

This program is for the aquatic habitat protection efforts that may not coincide with the application timeline or grant period for the Projects Grants Program and the Technical Assistance Grants Program. Freshwater Future realizes that many grassroots projects can be completed for under $500 USD, therefore we maintain a reserve to support urgent projects or those that present a special, time-limited opportunity.
