FUNDING PROGRAMS

2020 Green Infrastructure Partnership Program

Funding Available for Natural Solutions to Water Pollution

Every year, MMSD invites public, private, and not-for-profit organizations that plan to install Green Infrastructure (GI) strategies on their property within eligible municipalities, to submit applications for partnership funding through our Green Infrastructure Partnership Program.

Starting January 13, 2020, we invite organizations to apply for funding from MMSD to create new rain gardens, bioswales, green roofs and a variety of techniques that help capture and harness rain and melting snow.

WHAT IS THE GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM?

The program offers incentive funding on a per-gallon-captured, reimbursement basis for a host of green infrastructure strategies designed to capture and clean water where it falls. Applications are competitively scored based on an established set of criteria focused on the applicant’s ability and commitment to implement, maintain, and promote their project. MMSD is seeking partners that will foster the acceptance and implementation of green infrastructure (GI) as a viable means of managing water where it falls.
