ST. PAUL, Minn. — The Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) is now accepting grant applications for the Clean Water Legacy Partners Program, which seeks to protect, enhance and restore water quality throughout the state. Tribal Governments and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) are eligible to apply for this round of funding.
The grants can be used for a wide range of conservation activities including urban stormwater practices, agricultural best management practices, shoreline stabilization projects, drinking water protection and public engagement efforts.
“These grants will support valuable water quality improvement and protection efforts in more Minnesota communities,” said BWSR Executive Director John Jaschke. “The program’s flexibility also offers opportunities to strengthen partnerships with Tribal Governments and Minnesota’s robust conservation-geared nonprofit sector.”
A total of $1.066 million from the Clean Water Fund is available: $272,000 is available for NGOs and $794,000 is available for Tribes. Grant requests must be between $50,000 and $250,000; a non-state match of at least 10%, provided via cash or in-kind services, is required.
The application period opens today and closes August 5, 2025. For more information on how to apply, see the program’s Request for Proposals on BWSR’s website.
