Update: Please note these 2021 changes in funding request consideration by the Southwest Basin Roundtable:
- WSRF Grant requests will now only be considered once per year at a special March Roundtable meeting. Grants will be awarded at the April Roundtable meeting. WSRF applications are due March 1, 2021. We expect applications to be very competitive and filling out all the required information is absolutely necessary. Please email your application to [email protected].
- WSRF Basin funding requests will generally be limited to $25K so as to be able to cover more requests while WSRF funds remain scarce.
- For entities requesting Statewide WSRF funds, the Roundtable asks that you only request 10% of the Statewide request from the Basin Roundtable funds.
- Concept Proposals are welcome at all Roundtable meetings, as a step towards a full WSRF request.
For WSRF grant applicants, please complete the following questionnaire and submit it with your application:
