An opportunity for community engagement and clean water in the District. Eligible applicants include 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations and houses of worship. Qualifying projects include the installation of green features that will reduce pollution to local waterways, reduce their stormwater fees, and educate the public about water pollution.
While prior RiverSmart Communities grant programs focused primarily on effective stormwater treatment, this year's program heavily emphasizes the community engagement and outreach activities that will accompany the installation of stormwater projects. RiverSmart programs help to reduce stormwater runoff that harms the District’s waterways and the Chesapeake Bay.
RiverSmart programs provide financial incentives to help District property owners install green infrastructure such as rain barrels, green roofs, rain gardens, permeable pavement, shade trees, and more. These practices allow rainwater to stay on site, remove pollution and soak into the ground. Note: This grant program will not fund projects that are required to meet stormwater regulations.
