Mini Grants
Mini-grants — a favorite OWEB conference tradition
If you have a great watershed enhancement idea and need a little bit of help (up to $350), think about applying for a mini-grant. A single-page application and instructions will be provided at the conference, but you’ll give yourself a competitive edge by arriving in Pendleton with your application complete.
Download the instructions and application form here. Mini Grant Application
Even if you don’t submit an application, be sure to get in on the action by helping us choose which applications to fund. You’ll receive one ballot with your registration packet and you’ll be able to peruse the applications throughout the conference. Winners will be announced at Wednesday’s lunch.
Some of the fine print (for complete information, be sure to read the instructions):
Process
