Mid-America Regional Council (MARC), on behalf of the Water Quality Education Committee, requests proposals from nonprofits, schools, and community groups to implement educational activities, events or projects promoting actions to improve water quality in the Greater Kansas City area. 

Based on results from a citizen survey, the Committee will continue to focus on educating citizens about how stormwater contributes to water pollution in area lakes, rivers and streams, and how residents can reduce such pollution.

Government entities are not eligible to apply for funding. Grant funds must be used to support activity and/or event planning, project implementation and associated costs. In addition, proposals may be submitted for landscaping with native species to improve air and water quality and reduce excess water use. It is recommended that you read the full requirements before applying. Selected proposals must address at least one of the water quality education goals set out below:

  • Provide public education about the adverse impacts of stormwater runoff and water pollution.
  • Promote policies and management practices to reduce stormwater runoff and water pollution.
  • Implement best management practices to reduce stormwater runoff and water pollution in area creeks and streams.
 
Proposals for funding should be submitted by 4 p.m. CST, Monday, January 31st, 2022.
 
Projects can receive up to $5,000. Additional information about activities, events and projects funded through this program in previous years can be found at marc.org/water. Please contact Synthia Isah, or call 816-701-8231 if you have questions or need more information.
