Federal or National Funding Opportunities
State or Regional Sources of Grant Funding
- Soil and Water Conservation Grant Opportunities (Water Quality Improvement Funds)
- The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) began issuing the Chesapeake Bay preservation specialty plates in December 1992. For each plate sold or renewed at a cost of $25, the DMV gets $10 and the Chesapeake Restoration Fund receives $15. Thanks to the generosity of Virginia's citizens, revenues from the purchase of the popular Chesapeake Bay commemorative license plate have continued to grow, resulting in the awarding of $3 million in grants for Chesapeake Bay projects. The Fund is grateful for the generosity of the concerned citizens who have supported these initiatives.
