Grants for conservation education within the Tualatin River Watershed:

The Conservation Education Grant awards up to $20,000 for projects that promote conservation education within the Tualatin River Watershed. This grant program allows us to amplify our mission by supporting other groups in Washington County.

We award grants on a competitive basis until annual funds are depleted. Funding is typically provided on a reimbursement basis, but Tualatin SWCD will consider requests for upfront funding when the project is dependent upon it.
