Proposition 1 Grant Program

The Conservancy board has identified three priority areas for funding: watershed land acquisition, watershed or endangered species habitat restoration, or infrastructure that improves water management in a manner that complements surrounding habitat values. Projects that serve economically disadvantaged communities receive additional points in the competitive scoring process. Applicants are required to participate in a pre application consultation meeting that begins with submission of a short pre proposal on a form available from the Conservancy. Once that consultation is completed, the applicant must submit a project narrative and application as described more particularly in the grant program guidelines available on the Conservancy's website. Program Details Coachella Valley Mountains Conservancy is a state agency that offers the Proposition 1 Grant Program grant program to support infrastructure. This funding opportunity is available statewide and is administered by Coachella Valley Mountains Conservancy through California Grants Portal. Organizations seeking funding for infrastructure should review the details below and confirm their eligibility before preparing an application. Eligibility Eligible applicants should review the full program requirements on California Grants Portal for specific eligibility restrictions. Organizations that meet the eligibility criteria are encouraged to apply and to review the full program guidelines before submission. Because eligibility rules and funding priorities can change between cycles, applicants should always confirm the current requirements with Coachella Valley Mountains Conservancy or on California Grants Portal before investing time in an application.
