Grant Funding Possibilities 


Below is a list of potential options for inland lake project funding.  This list is not meant to be an exhaustive list of potential funding options.  There are also many local community resources that may be potential options.  

Please be aware that funding organizations do change their funding focus and may not always be applicable to shoreline projects on inland lakes.  You will need to review each source as to whether or not it fits your project needs.
