Community Conservation Partnerships Program Now Accepting Grant Applications

Communities across Pennsylvania can now apply for state grants to fund parks, recreation and conservation projects, as the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) opens its latest round of Community Conservation Partnerships Program funding. Applications are open now through April 30 at 4 p.m.

Eligible applicants include county and municipal governments, municipal agencies and nonprofit organizations. The grants fund projects such as park and recreation projects, conservation planning, trail planning, land and river conservation, community and streamside tree planting, and more.

Grant applications are only accepted through DCNR’s Grants Customer Service Portal.

Before starting an application, potential applicants should contact a regional advisor who serves the county where their project will be located.
