Great Lakes Protection Fund Accepting Funding Proposals Thru March 18

The
Great Lakes Protection Fund has issued a request for proposals to support projects to improve the waters, communities and economies of the Great Lakes Region.  The deadline is March 18.

The Fund is seeking to invest $4 million in new projects in 2026.

Here are three areas where the Fund believes project teams could make a transformative difference by designing and deploying new solutions that protect water resources:

-- Demonstrating alternative uses for less productive agricultural land.

-- Creating new operating models for high-water-use industries.

-- Increasing regional capacity to address emerging contaminants.

Visit the Request for Preproposals webpage for all the details.

The Great Lakes Protection Fund was created as a private nonprofit corporation to support cooperative efforts to address the ecological problems of the world’s largest single source of surface freshwater.

The governors of the Great Lakes states created the Fund to help protect and restore their shared resources. It’s the first private, permanent endowment ever created to benefit a specific ecosystem.
