Background: The Community Grants program is made possible by the generous contributions of business partners, foundations and individual donors. Forever Our Rivers will offer community Grants up to $10,000 this cycle, with an average of $7,000, supporting the following two priorities:


  • The connection of communities to their rivers through cultural values, improved river health, education, recreation or access. Of value will be projects in, and co-created with, underrepresented, BIPOC and socio-economically challenged communities. We are also interested in projects where leaders and participants live in the underserved communities that the project supports. 

  • The long-term protection of rivers, wetlands, and aquatic or riparian habitat. Of value will be projects that leverage previous efforts of applicants or partners, build habitat or floodplain connectivity, or protect water for future generations.

Forever Our Rivers does not guarantee any grant award will be approved or, if approved, that it will be provided by a specific date. Our grant cycle typically runs from March 1 - November 30.
