The Chesapeake Bay Trust invites Maryland non-profit organizations, environmental education centers, and public agencies working in the Chesapeake Bay watershed to submit proposals for programs that promote meaningful restoration, protection, and Chesapeake Bay experiences in Maryland schools.

The Trust's grant-making strategies are shaped by three core objectives: environmental education, demonstration-based restoration, and community engagement.  They look to these objectives as basic touchstones for developing our grant programs, engaging new partners, and communicating about their work.

To support these objectives, the Trust currently makes awards through 15 grant programs and one rebate program.
