Chesapeake Bay Stewardship Funding of PA Projects

Working in partnership with government agencies and private corporations, the National Fish & Wildlife Foundation administers the Chesapeake Bay Stewardship Fund. This Fund awards $40 million to $60 million per year through four competitive grant programs—the Innovative Nutrient and Sediment Reduction (INSR) Grants Program, the Small Watershed Grants Program, the Chesapeake Watershed Investments for Landscape Defense (WILD) Grants Program, and the Pennsylvania Most Effective Basins Grants Program.
