Overview

The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) Nonpoint Source Program offers the Watershed Council grant opportunity to support watershed-based organizations in improving water quality statewide. The primary purpose is to assist organizations with general administration needs as well as conservation and educational activities that reduce nonpoint source pollution.

Eligible applicants include Watershed Councils and Watershed Alliances established under State law, local units of government, tribal entities, colleges, universities, and entities with 501(c)(3) nonprofit status that are actively working to improve water quality on a watershed basis.

Funding supports eligible activities including organizational administration, conservation efforts, and educational initiatives across all watersheds statewide. Projects are capped at $40,000 with a 12-month implementation timeframe, and no local matching funds are required.

Applicants were required to complete and submit application packages containing the Watershed Council Cover Page (EQP9385), the proposal narrative following the application instructions, and the Watershed Council Budget Form (EQP9290) prior to the submission deadline.
