South Mountain Partnership Flex Grant Program Now Accepting Applications

The Friends of South Mountain Partnership and the Appalachian Trail Conservancy has Flex Grant funding available to support initiatives within our community that further the goals of the South Mountain Partnership.

Applications are due July 28.

This small-scale funding opportunity is intended to support projects not traditionally eligible for the SMP Mini-Grant program. 

In addition to supporting the SMP mission and goals, priority will be given to ideas that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in our region. 

Click Here to see example projects and initiatives, but all projects with connections to conserving landscape resources, promoting landscape resources, and/or connecting people and organizations with common goals around conservation are encouraged to apply. 

Awards from $600-$1,000 will be considered.  All projects must be within Adams, Cumberland, Franklin, or York County.
