SNEP 2025 Restoration Capital Minigrants
APPLY NOW!
SNEP Restoration Capital Mini-Grants is a new, one-time funding opportunity available through a partnership between the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region 1, and Restore America’s Estuaries (RAE).
This program will fund purchases of equipment and supplies for use by eligible organizations in advancing the goals of the SNEP Strategic Plan: clean water, healthy ecosystems and sustainable communities in Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts.
Requests may range from $1000 to $10,000 and must be used exclusively for direct purchase of equipment or supplies. Eligible organizations include municipalities, non-profit organizations, tribes, state agencies, regional planning organizations, and academic institutions. Land trusts and land management organizations are generally eligible. Individuals, private companies and federal agencies are not eligible.
To apply, download the Request for Proposals (RFP), Application Preview and Budget Template on this page, review them carefully, and then access the online application via the RFP. Applications must be submitted through the on-line portal in order to be considered for funding.
Applications will be accepted beginning January 29. Application review will begin on March 3 and awards will be made on a rolling basis while funds are available. All purchases must be complete, and reimbursement requests must be submitted to RAE, by May 31, 2025.
SNEP 2025 Restoration Capital Mini-Grants are separate from SNEP Watershed Implementation Grants. Our annual SWIG announcement will be available in late February 2025.
Funds are limited; therefore, those who submit applications early will have the best chance of receiving awards.
Note: Due to recent changes in federal law, drones are not eligible for funding under this program.
