Grants and Other Assistance
SNC Grants
The Safe Drinking Water, Water Quality and Supply, Flood Control, River and Coast Protection Bond Act, was approved by voters in 2006. The SNC was allocated a total of $54 million of Proposition 84 funds for grant distribution and necessary administration of the grants. The SNC has distributed nearly 30 million dollars to 175 projects throughout the Sierra Nevada.
The SNC Board approved new Grant Guidelines for the program in September 2011. These guidelines are consistent with the current SNC Strategic Plan, the FY 2011-12 grant program focuses on Healthy Forests, with $5 million available for awards.
