The NBWA is proud to sponsor and support local organizations and individuals in our regional community through providing selective local small grants and scholarships. The NBWA is always interested to learn about projects and initiatives that inform, engage, and enhance our North Bay watershed communities. Importantly, our projects are encouraged to be developed, piloted, or implemented by a local proponent with a design plan to distribute derivative benefits to the entire region. *Unless otherwise directed, NBWA will apply registration fees from the canceled 2020 conference to these two programs.For more information regarding these programs, please visit <a href="https://www.nbwatershed.org/conferences/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">www.nbwatershed.org</a>
