Grants & RFPs

The purpose of this Request for Proposals ("RFP") is to invite non-profit organizations experienced in various aspects of watershed stewardship, outreach and training, and environmental education to submit proposals to the Chesapeake Bay Trust (“the Trust”). The Trust has been designated to receive federal funds from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as part of the Chesapeake Bay Program (“CBP”) Goal Implementation Team Project Initiative. The work to be supported will advance specific outcomes from the 2014 Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement that have been identified as top priorities to address, and these stretch across all Goal Implementation Teams (“GITs”) and workgroups.
