Tucson Conserve to Enhance Grants Informational Session

C2E Grant Application Workshop

Thursday, December 6, 2012
5 – 6 p.m.
UA Water Resources Research Center — 350 N Campbell Ave

The Tucson Conserve to Enhance program is accepting grant applications for Community Enhancement Projects to improve local washes and neighborhood natural habitats. This workshop is designed to assist groups who are interested in applying for a grant through C2E with the application process. 

Projects eligible for a Community Enhancement Project grant must directly benefit a neighborhood’s natural areas and waterways through conservation or restoration practices, including passive rainwater harvesting in common areas, green infrastructure to mitigate stormwater runoff, native vegetation restoration, and soil conservation and erosion control in or near washes.

Proposals from local groups or organizations, comprised of three or more individuals from separate, unrelated households are welcome. Groups of interested neighbors, neighborhood organizations, schools, churches and other local organizations with a physical presence in the proposed project area are all eligible. Community Enhancement Project grants awards will range from $2,500 to $10,000.

Community Enhancement Project Applications are due February 8, 2013. For more information, please contact Candice Rupprecht at candicer@cals.arizona.edu or 520-621-6318.
