The Chesapeake Bay Trust funds projects that help protect and restore the Chesapeake Bay and its rivers. Our programs focus on two main areas: promoting public awareness and involvement, and creating on-the-ground projects that improve water quality and restore habitat.  Through our nine specific grant programs, the Trust is funding programs that help the Chesapeake. Whether through a Bay education project for students or an innovative approach to reduce storm water runoff, the Trust seeks to help each and every Marylander find ways to improve the health of the Chesapeake Bay.
