(ECCD) is excited to announce the launch of its NEW 50/50 Conservation Grant, designed to support on-the-ground conservation work that improves natural resources, enhances land stewardship, and strengthens the resilience of working landscapes within the district. This annual grant program provides up to $15,000 in matching funds to landowners who are ready to invest in conservation practices that benefit their land and the broader Eagle County community.
The 50/50 Conservation Grant is a cost-share program, up to a maximum award of $15,000. Grant funds may support a wide range of technical conservation projects that enhance soil health, water quality and quantity, habitat, riparian systems, vegetation and other practices that align with ECCD’s mission, vision and strategic operating plan.
The program is open to all landowners or land managers located within ECCD boundaries, with applications reviewed through a Grant Scoring Rubric. Funding is competitive and allocated annually based on availability of funds.
Applications will be accepted twice next year:
All awarded projects must be completed within one year of the grant award date. Opportunity to apply for a 1 year extension.
To receive funding, applicants must contribute an equal share toward project costs:
