The Mini Grants program funds activities help promote awareness and participation in the restoration and protection of the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries. Grants funded under this program have ranged from $25 to $5,000. The Trust considers projects that will help to further the goals of the Chesapeake 2000 Agreement.
