The Clean Water Indiana Program, administered by the Indiana State Department of Agriculture (ISDA) and overseen by the State Soil Conservation Board (SSCB), provides competitive grants to support projects that reduce nonpoint sources of water pollution across Indiana. Funding is available for conservation practices, technical assistance, education, outreach, and regional efforts to address soil and water quality issues, including sediment and nutrient reduction, invasive species, and capacity-building for local Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCDs) and partners. Projects can include cost-share programs, staffing, equipment, and educational initiatives, with an emphasis on leveraging partnerships and match funding.
