CWSP writes "Environmental Services works with Portland State University, AmeriCorps, local watershed councils and the community to raise awareness of and to improve watershed health.

Our Community Watershed Stewardship Program offers grants that provide up to $5,000 to schools, churches, and other community organizations for projects that protect and enhance watershed health at the local level. Grants cannont go to individuals. However, if you have neighborhood and community support for your idea, we can help you find a partner organization that can act as your financial agent. Grant money can be used for supplies, materials, equipment, room rentals, feasibility studies or technical assistance.
