Funding provided by the Chesapeake Bay Trust sparks on-the-ground change in communities throughout Maryland and works to cultivate a new generation of Bay stewards. The hundreds of projects we fund each year allow creative individuals, schools, and communities to spark real change at the local level. We often reach beyond our grant programs to achieve our goal of restoring the health of the Bay. Through partnerships, award programs, and special initiatives, the Trust is a leader in the Bay community.

Each year, the Trust recognizes outstanding achievement by educators, students, and individuals who work creatively to build environmental stewards in communities throughout Maryland.
