Grants for watershed conservation in Washington County:

The Tualatin Watershed Improvement Grant (TWIG) awards up to $5,000 for projects that promote conservation 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. When feasible, direct payment of expenses can be arranged to reduce financial strain on the grantee.
