The Bassett Creek Watershed Management Commission (BCWMC) has developed a grant program to provide up to $1,000 to support the following activities:
The BCWMC is requesting one-to-one matching funds or an in-kind match of labor, materials, staff, and other sources of funding or cash.
Generally, those eligible are groups or individuals living or working within the watershed or drawing participants from the watershed, or providing information for or support for local watershed data collection and educational outreach. For more specific information, see the BCWMC's Criteria for Water Quality Education Grants.
Activities must focus on protecting or improving our water resources within the Bassett Creek Watershed, including lakes, streams, and wetlands, through direct projects, activities or educational opportunities. Training programs that increase educators' knowledge, skills, and ability to provide such opportunities are also eligible. For more specific information, see the BCWMC's Criteria for Water Quality Education Grants.
Grants will be awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis. All grants submitted will be reviewed in a timely manner and will be acted upon as soon as Commission schedule allows.

It is governed by a joint powers board made up of representatives appointed by each of these cities and charged with protecting and improving water resources in the watershed.
