We just posted the next round of municipal grants. We have made available $138,000 for our FY25 Buzzards Bay Watershed Municipal Mini-grant Program. The announcement has been posted on our NEP funding page and on the COMMBUYS website. We are seeking proposals for projects that support the goals and objectives of the Buzzards Bay Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan and will be located within the Buzzards Bay Watershed. Funding is provided in accordance with Cooperative Agreement CE00A01614-0 with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Southeast New England Program (SNEP). Proposals must be submitted electronically and are due Tuesday, February 4, 2025, by 4:00 PM. Applicants must provide a non-federal match that will equal or exceed 33 percent of requested grant funds (i.e. 25 percent of total project costs). The RFP’s Question and Answer period will close 4:00 PM, Wednesday, January 22, 2025. Municipalities may submit any number of applications, and they may receive more than one grant; however, no single grant award may exceed $69,000 and no municipality can receive more than $138,000. Contracts are expected to begin in April 2025.
