The BTNEP Mini-Grants Program

 

   

The Barataria-Terrebonne National Estuary Program (BTNEP) created the Mini-Grant Program in January 2005 to support community-based restoration, outreach and education projects.  Through the Mini-Grant Program,  citizens will gain a greater awareness and understanding of the issues facing the Barataria-Terrebonne Estuary System (BTES) and will join with BTNEP in creating effective solutions.

 

The Mini-Grant Program will also help BTNEP foster creative partnerships among community groups and broaden our ability to connect with as many people as possible in preserving our homeland.

 

Available Funding

 

BTNEP had $10,000 available in 2009 for eligible Mini-Grant Program projects, with a minimum of $1,000 and a maximum of $5,000 for any one proposal.
