Worried About Water Quality? Apply For a Watershed District Makes Grant

Project proposals are due by Wednesday, Sept. 18, and requests are limited to $25,000.

Concerned about protecting our lakes, wetlands, and streams?

Minnehaha Creek Watershed District can help. Since 1998 the MCWD has been providing grants through the Cynthia Krieg Watershed Stewardship Fund, which supports projects that improve water quality through community service and involvement, education, and innovation.

The Cynthia Krieg Stewardship Fund allows MCWD to partner with local communities, schools, civic groups, non-profit groups and others to engage citizens in activities that protect and provide clean water.

 Examples of previously funded projects include development and production of educational materials, videos, and guides; restoration projects along water bodies; holding workshops or developing training programs, and innovative demonstration projects that involve and educate the community.

Funded activities must result in water quality improvement and/or greater public awareness of ways people can protect local lakes, streams and wetlands. Project proposals are due by Wednesday, Sept. 18.

Grant requests are limited to $25,000, and funded activities must take place within the boundaries of the MCWD. For more information, contact Leslie Yetka, MCWD Education Manager, at (952) 641-4524 or LYetka@minnehahacreek.org or visit minnehahacreek.org.
