The Lake Erie Protection Fund

Government and non-profit entities are eligible to apply for funding. Applicants must have a federal tax identification number to apply. Funding may not be used to fund staff salaries for state employees. Applicants must be based in Ohio, although work may be contracted with outside entities as necessary.

Small Grants up to $15,000 are available to fund a wide variety of projects which will provide a direct benefit to Lake Erie or its tributary watersheds in Ohio. The LEPF focuses on projects which lead to better management decisions, both for environmental protection and economic development. Targeted Grant amounts and topics change annually.
