Colorado Watershed Assembly is requesting applications for the Colorado Healthy Rivers Fund (CHRF) Grant Program. This fund grants money to on-the-ground projects that contribute to cleaner water, healthier wildlife habitat, improved recreation and vibrant local economies throughout our state.
The CHRF program targets two categories of grants: project grants and planning grants.
- Project grants support projects that promote the improvement and/or protection of the condition of the watershed.
- Planning grants support development of a successful watershed restoration or protection project.
The goal of the program is the implementation of on-the-ground projects to restore and protect the natural resources within Colorado watersheds. Average grant awards range from $5,000 to $20,000.
Interested parties can find grant guideline information, the Online Grant Application and learn more about the Colorado Healthy Rivers Fund Grant Program by visiting the Colorado Healthy Rivers Fund webpage.
$50,000 - $100,000
The Bureau of Reclamation released a grant funding opportunity for communities to establish a new watershed group, expand an existing group and complete restoration planning efforts. The Cooperative Watershed Management Program encourages diverse stakeholders to form local solutions to address their water management needs.
A watershed group is a self-sustaining, non-regulatory, consensus-based group that is composed of a diverse array of stakeholders. Membership in a watershed group may include, but is not limited to, private property owners, non-profit organizations, federal, state, or local agencies, and tribes.
"This program brings local stakeholders together to collaborate on improving water reliability and management in their community. The intention of this is to facilitate locally driven and consensus-based solutions to complex water issues,” said Reclamation’s Program Manager Robin Graber.
$5,000 - $20,000
The Community Challenge Grants are to be used to promote and enhance the quality of Arizona’s
urban and community forests. Research project funding is provided as seed-dollars. Projects should be
aimed at improving the long-term health and care of the urban forest, or at initiating new urban forestry
projects in Arizona communities that would not otherwise be funded through existing budgets.

The National Water Quality Initiative will work in priority watersheds to help farmers, ranchers and forest landowners improve water quality and aquatic habitats in impaired streams. NRCS will help producers implement conservation and management practices through a systems approach to control and trap nutrient and manure runoff. Qualified producers will receive assistance for installing conservation practices such as cover crops, filter strips and terraces.

The program builds on grants given through several western state offices in past years. These grants are available to Audubon chapters in the arid West who lead projects that keep priority rivers and lakes flowing, resilient, and accessible to migratory birds and human communities through policy and advocacy, habitat projects, and community science.
