EPA Grant Funding Summary (Fiscal Years 2016-2022) ^‍‍

Funding Levels Reported in Dollars
Non-competitive Grant Funding represents the combined amounts allocated to the watershed jurisdictions and described more fully in the “State Grant Allocations” chart. This includes funds directed towards Most Effective Basins in each jurisdiction. Competitive Grant Funding is the combined annual amount watershed jurisdictions benefited from EPA's Small Watershed Grants and Innovative Nutrient and Sediment Reduction Grants. These amounts are further described in the “Chesapeake Bay Directed Funds” chart. Leveraged Funding represents the grant recipient match, including in-kind support, for both competitive and non-competitive grants awarded through Section 117 of the Clean Water Act (in whole dollars) and additional funds leveraged by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation. This reflects the capacity of EPA Chesapeake Bay Program grants to stimulate additional funding resources directed to the protection and restoration of the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
