SEWISC Assistance Program

As annual funding allows, SEWISC provides small grants to members for invasive species control projects

Requests for applications are generally made in January, applications due in February and awards announced in March.
Funding can only be used for on-the-ground invasive species control projects, benefitting native wildlife communities.
This Program is a benefit of membership to SEWISC members. All applicants must be current members of SEWISC.
Preference is given to qualified applicants/projects not funded in the previous year.
Assistance awards are limited to a maximum of $2,000 of funding from SEWISC.
The funded project must provide a match that equals at least 25% of the total project budget. In-kind (e.g. volunteer labor) match is acceptable. SEWISC will not fund more than 75% of the total cost of the project. Details of the match calculation must be shown in the grant application budget.
Projects must be completed by the last day of the year awarded with final reports due 31 days later.
