Funding
for Source Water Protection
EPA’s Office of Wetlands, Oceans and Watersheds has launched a new"Watershed Funding" section of EPA's Web site. The new pages contain
links to tools, databases, and resources about grants, funding and
fundraising. The Web site is designed to help nonprofit watershed
organizations, state and local governments, and funders (such as
foundations) more easily find information on how to effectively obtain
and invest resources to improve watershed health.
