PREP is one of 28 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's National Estuary Programs, a joint local/state/federal program established under the Clean Water Act with the goal of protecting and enhancing nationally significant estuarine resources - including the Great Bay and Hampton-Seabrook Estuaries. As a watershed-based organization, PREP and its grant funding opportunities support the 52 municipalities across the Piscataqua Region Watershed (Appendix A). Funds for this grant opportunity are provided by EPA under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law<https://prepestuaries.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5075a5bd27421833e43127c13&id=8e90de8c12&e=41c82e8f96>, and the grant program timeline assumes no disruption to anticipated funding cycle.

For 2024-2025 projects, eligible applicants may submit proposals requesting up to $25,000 in grant funding. A total of $100,000 is available for projects for 2024-2025. Applicants may request funding between $5,000 and $25,000 per project. For all projects, a minimum of 15% must be budgeted for community engagement. For example, a project seeking $25,000 in grant funding must allocate at least $3,750 of grant funding toward community engagement. Applicants must outline how the project will advance diversity, justice, and inclusion as part of the application.
