Description
There is a need for private funds to match agency dollars. New requirements for Growing Greener are forcing watershed organizations to provide cash match for grant requests. For years, philanthropy has been serving this match-funding role. This presentation will overview WPWP Program Areas, how to create a winning proposal, what is appealing to funders and introduce you to our services. Due to the magnitude of federal funding provided through the Abandoned Mine Lands Fund in Washington D.C. for reclamation of Pennsylvania’s 184,000 acres of degraded lands, a short presentation will be provided on the state of the re-authorization legislation.
