Description
The Bay Mini-Grants program, administered by the Tampa Bay Estuary Program (TBEP), funds community-driven projects aimed at restoring, protecting, or educating about the natural resources of the Tampa Bay watershed. Designed to foster environmental stewardship and science literacy, these competitive awards empower local organizations—including schools, nonprofits, businesses, and government agencies—to actively contribute to the health and resilience of Tampa Bay. Projects must align with the Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan (CCMP) for Tampa Bay and can include restoration, enhancement, or community education initiatives.
