U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Private Stewardship Grants Program
The Private Stewardship Grants Program (PSGP) provides grants and other assistance on a competitive basis to individuals and groups engaged in private, voluntary conservation efforts that benefit species listed or proposed as endangered or threatened under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended, candidate species, or other at-risk species on private lands within the United States. Eligible projects include those by landowners and their partners who need technical and financial assistance to improve habitat or implement other activities on private lands. Under the PSGP, privately owned means land that is not owned by governmental entity. The PSGP supports on-the-ground conservation actions as opposed to education and outreach, planning, or research activities, and we will not fund the acquisition of real property either through fee title or easements. 10 percent cost sharing required. http://www.fws.gov/endangered/grants/private_stewardship/index.html

Delaware Estuary Watershed Grant Program
Grants of $10,000 to $50,000 will be awarded on a competitive basis to
- Encourage innovative, community or locally-based programs or projects that restore important habitats and living resources within the Delaware Estuary Watershed;
- Develop the capacity of local governments, citizens groups and other organizations to promote community based stewardship and enhance local watershed-based resource management; and
- Promote a greater understanding of the Delaware Estuary and the interrelationship between the health of the Estuary and the condition of local watersheds.
Public or nonprofit private agencies, institutions, and organizations, educational institutions, and local and state government are eligible for funding. Governmental agencies are encouraged to involve nonprofits in their projects.
Projects will be considered for DEWGP funding that are located in the boundaries of the Delaware Estuary, as established by the Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan for the Delaware Estuary (CCMP). This includes the major tributaries to the Lower Delaware River and Bay including the Schuylkill River, Maurice River and Brandywine Creek Watersheds. In addition, the non-tidal main stem of the Delaware River from the Head of Tide in Trenton (River Mile 133.4) north to the downstream boundary of the Delaware Water Gap Recreation Area (mile 209.5) is also included in the geographic scope.

EPA Targeted Watershed Grants
EPA plans to award up to $19 million in grants to help clean up and restore the nation's waterways. Proposals must reach EPA by Oct. 16, 2006, for capacity-building grants and Nov. 15, 2006, for project-implementation grants. Capacity-building grants provide for education and training, whereas implementation grants involve actions such as protection and preservation.
State governors and tribal leaders nominate potential recipients for implementation grants. EPA will evaluate and rank submissions based on criteria outlined in each notice. Watershed organizations receive the awards based on how likely they are to achieve environmental results in a relatively short time. Selection of the grantees will be announced in the fall.
