This program supports the advancement of outdoor recreation, conservation, trail projects, and programs within the Susquehanna Greenway’s 22 counties: Bradford, Cambria, Centre, Clearfield, Clinton, Columbia, Cumberland, Dauphin, Indiana, Juniata, Lackawanna, Lancaster, Luzerne, Lycoming, Montour, Northumberland, Perry, Snyder, Susquehanna, Union, Wyoming, and York.
Projects outside this corridor will not be considered.
Eligible applicants include registered nonprofit organizations able to apply for DCNR-supported funding and public entities (such as a county, municipality, or municipal agency).
Projects must fit within one of these four eligible categories: Outreach & Education; Wayfinding & Signage; Parks, Land & Water Trails, and Active Transportation; and Temporary Placemaking
Applicants can apply for up to $25,000 per request, with a 1:1 match required (cash or in-kind).
One award per entity (multiple applications may be submitted for consideration) with a 10-month contract period (January – October 2027).
Awarded projects can expect to be notified in December 2026.
The Susquehanna Greenway Mini-Grant Program is financed by a grant from the Community Conservation Partnership Program, under the administration of the Department of Conservation & Natural Resources Bureau of Recreation and Conservation.
As such, mini-grants may not be used as match for other DCNR-funded projects, and DCNR funding may not be used to match this mini-grant.
Awardees must follow all DCNR grant guidelines and acknowledge both SGP and DCNR in all marketing and media.
Eligible applicants can apply online at the Susquehanna Greenway Mini-Grant Program webpage. Questions may be directed to info@susquehannagreenway.org or 570-478-0178.
