Have a project in mind? Get reimbursed for up to $500 to fund your project!

The Snohomish Conservation District offers mini-grants opportunities up to $500 to qualified applicants (including individual landowners, for profit and non-profit businesses, faith-based organizations, apartment complexes, etc.) that are working toward community-based urban agriculture in Snohomish County and Camano Island. Projects will be chosen based on criteria such as the engagement of partners and diverse community members, the demonstration of environmentally-sound techniques, and beneficial impacts such as addressing food security and increasing access to fresh produce in food deserts.
