Grant Description
This non-competitive CWF grant provides support to SWCDs and partners in the Lake Superior Basin to leverage Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) or other federal Great Lakes funding to implement prioritized activities.
Reporting Overview
A work plan must be approved before work can begin on this grant. The work plan must be developed in eLINK; please reference the eLINK Training Video Adding Activities and Creating a Work Plan in eLINK. The workplan will lock upon submittal to BWSR for approval, preventing edits to the approved budget but allowing you to enter expenses and reporting details as work is completed. If you need to make revisions to the workplan after it has been approved and locked, please consult with your Board Conservationist.
Grant recipients are required to report on grant outcomes, activities, and accomplishments in eLINK according to the requirements outlined in the grant agreement and BWSR’s Grants Administration Manual. Clean Water Fund grant agreements stipulate that the grantee must “comply with requirements for project signage.” The logo may be displayed on legacy-funded construction projects; at access points to any land or water resources restored, protected, or enhanced through Legacy funds; or on printed and other materials funded with money from one or more of the funds. The Legacy logo should be prominently displayed on the grantee’s website.
