What the grant funds

EPA seeks applications from eligible recipients to support Chesapeake Bay Program (CBP) efforts to connect with diverse and underserved audiences throughout the Chesapeake Bay watershed through public forums, targeted outreach campaigns, conferences, social media, and other methods that will accelerate conservation action through local efforts informed and supported by Bay program information and partner resources. The recipient will raise visibility and awareness of the mission and activities of the CBP as a national and international leader in multi-agency ecosystem restoration and maintenance efforts; and develop, support, and implement initiatives that increase the capacity of the CBP and its partners to undertake more action, secure additional funding, and coordinate expanded outreach and engagement efforts to these communities with the ultimate goal of achieving more local waterway benefits while contributing to Bay-wide goals and outcomes.
