2026 SEWISC Assistance Program

SEWISC currently has a limited amount of funding to provide for invasive species control

  • This funding can only be used for on-the-ground invasive species control projects within the 8-county SEWISC region.
  • This Program is a benefit of membership to SEWISC members. All applicants must be a current (2026) member of SEWISC.
  • Preference will be given to qualified applicants/projects not funded in the previous (2025) year.
  • Assistance awards will be 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.
  • Applications are due by 5:00 PM CST February 27, 2026; and awardees will be notified by March 20, 2026.
  • The project must be completed in 2026; a final report will be due by January 31, 2027.
