The Chesapeake Bay Trust awards more than $10 million in grant funding each year to hundreds of nonprofits and community organizations throughout the region for hands-on projects that are ensuring a cleaner, greener, healthier Chesapeake watershed for years to come.
Grants
The Trust’s grant-making strategies are shaped by three core objectives: environmental education, demonstration-based restoration, and community engagement. We look to these objectives as touchstones for developing our grant programs, engaging new partners, and communicating about our work.

Rain Check Rebate
The Chesapeake Bay Trust is proud to partner with Prince George’s County on its Rain Check Rebate Program, offering incentives to homeowners, businesses, and others to install practices that will improve stormwater runoff quality, reduce runoff quantity, and improve local streams and rivers.
Members of the Chesapeake Conservation Corps have lots of opportunities to gain experience and excel during their year of service. Corps member Shayna Keller did just that at the recent Maryland Water Monitoring Conference. Way to go, Shayna!Chesapeake Conservation Corps Member Shayna Keller had a super successful experience at the Maryland Water Monitoring Conference last week. She presented data on one of South River Federation's restoration projects, Church Creek, in Anne Arundel County where a potential aeration effect is occuring when it rains due to turbulence over rocks at the site causing dissolved oxygen values to spike. She did such a great job she was asked to present again at the Urban Waters Partnership Meeting. Go Shayna! #CorpsLife #CorpsImpact #WeSoProud
