The Foundation for Pennsylvania Watersheds (FPW) aims to protect healthy natural streams, clean-up and restore degraded streams, and advocate for Pennsylvania’s extensive water resources. With a mission to protect and restore Pennsylvania's water resources, FPW provides matching funds to leverage local, state, and federal resources for conservation organizations, ensuring clean water for future generations. Their goal is to protect the best and restore the worst of the state's water resources.
The grant-making program of the Foundation for Pennsylvania Watersheds supports local efforts towards the protection and restoration of Pennsylvania’s water resources. It focuses on both protecting pristine waterways and rehabilitating those that are highly polluted. By offering private matching grant funds, the program aims to assist both small and large conservation groups throughout most of the Commonwealth, excluding areas east of the Susquehanna River. The grants target the enhancement of water quality and the conservation of water resources for the benefit of children, families, and wildlife in the future, embodying the foundation's commitment to securing clean and healthy water resources for future generations.
