Organizations engaged in protecting Virginia's mountain watersheds are eligible for funding through the Mountain Watershed Protection Program. This initiative specifically targets nonprofits, local government entities, and educational institutions that focus on water quality improvement, stormwater management, and biodiversity protection in the state's mountainous regions. Applicants must demonstrate their ability to implement watershed protection strategies capable of addressing local environmental challenges.
When preparing to apply for funding, organizations must meet specific application requirements.

Additionally, collaboration with local stakeholders is essential to ensure that efforts align with community needs and existing water management initiatives. Organizations may encounter the challenge of securing matching funds, which is often a requirement for grant approval.
