Our previous funding for RainWise Access Grants and GSI Mini Grants has been fully expended (and has supported 65 green infrastructure projects!). We have recently received King County WaterWorks funding and we are actively seeking additional funding to keep making these incentives widely available and fund as many projects as possible in the 2020 calendar year. If you want to be notified as soon as these incentive programs are re-opened, please add your name to our email list by emailing ev@stewardshippartners.org. We anticipate these grant sources will re-open later this spring.

 

Green Stormwater Infrastructure Mini Grants

The Problem/Barrier: We understand that for homeowners, investing in green stormwater infrastructure can be time consuming and costly, creating a barrier for would-be participants. Our goal is to work across the system, giving people the connections, tools, resources, and knowledge needed to care for our land and water.

The Solution: Green Stormwater Infrastructure Mini Grants provide up to $1,500 for landowners within the King County Wastewater Treatment Division (WTD) service area that are not eligible for other incentive programs. Up to $4,500 may be provided to income-limited landowners. If you are ready to invest in green infrastructure on your property, we are here to help by walking you through the process and providing a financial tool.

Approved green infrastructure types include:

  • Rain gardens
  • Depave projects
  • Cisterns
  • Green roofs
  • Grattix
