Educational Grants

The Sacramento County Stormwater Quality Program provides Watershed Stewardship and Education grants to support creative projects that impact or benefit our waterways. Teachers, neighborhood groups, volunteer groups, environmental organizations and other nonprofit associations have been awarded funds to help protect, restore or enhance creeks, riparian corridors, watersheds, and rivers within the unincorporated urban areas of Sacramento County.  Each recipient can receive up to $2,500 for grant projects.

The application period for the 2023-24 Watershed Stewardship and Education Grant application has ended. Please check back in the future for grant opportunities. ​

Classroom presentations

Sacramento County Stormwater Quality Program works with the Sacramento Splash center to offer Splash in the Classroom presentations which is a fun and interactive way to teach students about stormwater pollution.  Students learn about pollutants that harm our waterways and how to play a role in protecting creeks and rivers.  For more information or to sign up for a presentation, please visit the Splash in the Class website or call (916) 364-2437.
