[Watersheds] FW: SNEP Pre-Proposals Due March 30!

[Panciera, Ernie (DEM)]

It's not too late to develop a pre-proposal for a
2018 SNEP Watershed Grant!

To help restore clean water and healthy ecosystems to Southeast New England, Restore America’s Estuaries (RAE), with financial support from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), has launched the 2018 Southeast New England Program (SNEP) Watershed Grants. The grants target water pollution, habitat degradation, and other high-priority environmental issues, in order to foster sustainable coastal and watershed communities in Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts.

Pre-proposals are due
Friday, March 30, 2018 at 5 p.m.

SNEP Watershed Grants' streamlined pre-proposal process makes it easy to submit an application. With more than two weeks to go, there's plenty of time to develop and submit your pre-proposal. Complete application and submittal instructions are included in the Request for Proposals (RFP).

DOWNLOAD THE RFP & RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS HERE<http://www.snepgrants.org/>

The new "Response to Questions" addresses questions asked at public information sessions and webinars held by RAE in late February and early March. Prospective applicants are encouraged to review this document in developing SNEP proposals. And while you’re on our webpage, subscribe for future updates!

2018 SNEP Watershed Grants will provide up to $2.5 million to encourage strategic investments by state, local, tribal, and regional partners. The source of the funding is federal, and grantees are expected to provide an additional 33% of the grant amount in non-federal matching funds. Cash and in-kind contributions may be counted toward match. Click here for more information on SNEP Watershed Grants.<http://www.snepgrants.org/>

2018 SNEP Watershed Grants support the goals and priorities of EPA’s Southeast New England Program, a regional effort to promote a resilient ecosystem of clean water, healthy diverse habitats, and sustainable communities in Southeast New England’s coastal watersheds.
