Watershed Stewardship Grants provide much-needed funding to community stewardship groups to support their efforts.
Since 2006, more than 180 groups, from communities across Alberta, have received in excess of $2,500,000 to deliver more than 360 projects that help ensure a safe, secure drinking water supply, healthy aquatic ecosystems and reliable, quality water supplies for a sustainable economy.
Apply for a 2023 Grant
If your organization has a project in mind to enhance, protect or restore Alberta’s valued water resources, consider applying. Stewardship and synergy groups, naturalist organizations, First Nations and Métis communities, recreational and community associations, and other non-profits can apply. We invite and encourage creative, innovative and collaborative stewardship projects.
Eligible organizations may submit more than one application for separate projects but can only receive a maximum of $20,000 per project in WSG funding per year.
The deadline for applications is April 26, 2023. Apply today.
