Description
The Water Management program funds organizations working to ensure clean, accessible, and affordable water for all Californians, with a particular focus on the Central Valley. The program emphasizes collaboration among stakeholders—including marginalized community members and small-scale farmers—who are often excluded from water policy decisions. Supported projects are expected to foster open dialogue and develop equitable water management policies, address basin-level water supply issues, and improve access for vulnerable populations. The program’s approach is grounded in community engagement and aims to address systemic inequities in water distribution and policy.
