Susquehanna Greenway Partnership Now Accepting Mini-Grant Applications; Oct. 1 Webinar

On September 2, the Susquehanna Greenway Partnership announced it is now accepting applications for the 2025 Susquehanna Greenway Mini-Grant Program. The deadline to apply is October 31.

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 non-profit 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; or Temporary Placemaking. 

Funding Details: Up to $10,000 per request; 1:1 match required (cash or in-kind); One award per entity (multiple applications may be submitted for consideration); 10-month contract period (January – October 2025) 

The Susquehanna Greenway Mini-Grant Program is financed by a grant from the Community Conservation Partnership Program, under the administration of the DCNR 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.
