The New York State Water and Sewer Infrastructure Co-funding Initiative- This program provides assistance to New York State communities find sources of government funding for their water and sewer projects.
The Department of Environmental Conservation grant page- provides information on competitive grants for environmental protection and improvement, which are available for municipalities, community organizations, not-for-profit organizations and others. In addition, information about potential funding under section 604(b) of the Clean Water Act can be found here.
The Water Environment Research Foundation (WERF)- accepting pre-proposals under its 2011 Unsolicited Research Program. WERF is providing up to $530,000 (in total) to fund pioneering research that significantly advances our understanding of today's most pressing water quality issues and provides practical solutions to the challenges facing wastewater and stormwater programs. WERF will also consider proposals that take existing research to the next level of competition.
Proposers are invited to submit pre-proposals on topics consistent with WERF's ongoing efforts to advance science and technology addressing water quality issues as they impact water resources, the atmosphere, the land, and quality of life. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, conveyance systems; wastewater treatment; reuse; solids management; condition assessment and infrastructure management; energy efficiency; decentralized collection and treatment systems; risk assessment and communication; watershed management and water quality; and other emerging issues. Visit WERF's website for a list of ongoing, completed, and planned research, as this will help proposers avoid duplication.
The NYSERDA Focus on Water and Wastewater
- designed to assist municipalities in making sound energy decisions about their water and wastewater treatment facilities. These include support for customized energy evaluations through the FlexTech Program, capital incentives for the installation of energy-efficient equipment and processes through the Existing Facilities Program, and support for developing and demonstrating innovative technologies.

Bronx River Watershed Initiative (BRWI)- the BRWI has $3 million available for stormwater retrofit projects, including Low Impact Development Initiatives, to address the root causes of pollution from stormwater outfalls to improve water quality and river ecology along the Bronx River. You may view the website to view a Request for Proposals or to find out more information about this initiative.
Community Action for a Renewed Environment Program (CARE)- The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is making $2 million available in 2011 to reduce pollution at the local level through CARE. CARE is a community-based program that works with county and local governments, tribes, non-profit organizations and universities to help the public understand and reduce toxic risks from numerous sources to protect people’s health.
EPA will award CARE cooperative agreements in two levels. Level I awards range from $75,000 to $100,000 and will help establish community-based partnerships to develop local environmental priorities. Level II awards, ranging from $150,000 to $300,000 each, will support communities that have established broad-based partnerships, identified the priority toxic risks in their communities, and are prepared to measure results, implement risk-reduction activities and become self- sustaining.
