Watershed Planning for Success & Federal Funding

Learn how to supercharge your funding success and qualify for federal funding to achieve lasting environmental results in your watershed. In this workshop, EPA will equip participants with the skills, concepts and tools needed to reach your vision through an integrated watershed approach. Experts say that one of the surest ways to achieve water quality results is to develop a robust, realistic watershed plan, or road-map, to target control options and measure progress. Understand how the nine critical elements of a watershed plan and tools will guide and implement actions to achieve water quality standards and put you on the surest path to funding. The workshop will equip you with key tools to help you take a more strategic and sustainable funding approach. Participants will learn about three free, web-based tools tested by nonprofits that can help you find relevant funding resources, create a sustainable finance plan, and prioritize competing funding objectives.
