About environmental grants in Maryland

Environmental grants fund a wide range of work, from pollution reduction and climate resilience to habitat restoration and community stewardship. Major federal sources include the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, while private funders such as the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) and family and community foundations support nonprofit-led efforts. Eligible applicants typically include nonprofits, tribes, schools, and state and local governments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What grants are available for environmental projects?

Funding spans pollution prevention, climate and energy, conservation, water quality, environmental justice, and education. Federal agencies like the EPA and USDA run competitive grant programs, and many flow through intermediaries such as the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation. Most programs fund specific project work rather than general operating costs, so it helps to match your project to a program's stated priorities.

Who funds environmental nonprofits?

Federal agencies including the EPA, USDA/NRCS, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, NOAA, and the U.S. Forest Service are core public funders. On the private side, the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation is one of the largest conservation grantmakers, and national, regional, and community foundations also support environmental causes. State environmental agencies frequently re-grant federal dollars as well.

How do I find environmental grants that fit my organization?

Start by defining your project scope, geography, and the population or ecosystem you serve, then search federal opportunities on Grants.gov alongside foundation databases. Read each funder's eligibility and priority areas closely before applying, since environmental programs are often narrowly targeted. Aligning your proposal to a funder's specific goals is usually more effective than applying broadly.
