SMMC’s Prop 1 Competitive Grant Program supports watershed protection and restoration projects, including habitat, water quality, open space acquisition, and related planning within the Conservancy’s territory. The linked PDF provides program rules, eligibility, scoring, and compliance requirements for future/periodic solicitations; it is not a current NOFO. Eligible applicants typically include public agencies, tribes, and qualified nonprofits. Projects must advance Prop 1 statutory purposes and SMMC priorities (e.g., riparian restoration, stormwater capture, acquisition for resource protection, public access compatible with resource goals). LA County entities are eligible where projects occur within SMMC’s jurisdiction. Applicants should monitor SMMC for active PSNs and board calendars before preparing submissions. Use guidelines for developing shovel-ready scopes aligned with CEQA, Corps consultation requirements, and long-term stewardship.
