CLCC will host office hours devoted to OSWA, UGCG, and CLCC grant programs the first and third Tuesdays of each month this summer, from 10-11am via Zoom. More info here »

You can also catch the recording and presentation from the June 1 info session. More info here »

These casual, drop-in office hours are a great way to get into the weeds with the CLCC team about your OSWA, UGCG and other grant applications, including asking fact-specific questions about your project, complying with closing requirements, and learning more about other funding opportunities.

CT DEEP is accepting applications from municipalities, land trusts, and water companies for the next round of the competitive Open Space and Watershed Land Acquisition Grant Program (OSWA) and from targeted and distressed communities* for the Urban Green and Community Gardens Grant Program (UGCG). The application deadline for both programs is October 2, 2023.

Do you have questions about the application process?
Do you have a project in mind and want to learn more?
Do you want to learn about compatible funding programs?

Please join CLCC, DEEP and our hosts for an informational session to learn about these grant programs and other state and federal funding opportunities to support your land conservation and community greenspace projects, including the items needed to submit a complete and successful application. There will be plenty of opportunity for Q&A.

*Note: Only communities listed as “targeted” and/or “distressed” are eligible to apply for UGCG grants. Click HERE to see if your municipality is eligible.
