On January 15, the PA Organization for Watersheds and Rivers announced it is now accepting applications for 2019 Pennsylvania River Sojourn Grants cycle. The deadline for applications is February 26.
Grants are available on a competitive basis for single and multi-day paddling events on Pennsylvania Rivers. Sojourns must incorporate significant educational programming, and be open to all participants (i.e., private trips are not eligible).
Applicants can request $900 per day for multi-day sojourns and $500 for a single-day sojourn. A total of $30,000 in funding is available.
The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources is the prime sponsor of the program.
