These grants are highly competitive. More details about the application requirements can be found on the Streamflow restoration competitive grants webpage.

More about the grant program

The grants will help state and local agencies, tribal governments, and non-profit organizations, implement local plans and projects to improve streamflow and aquatic resources. This round of grants will provide up to $40 million for projects. We are hosting two live virtual workshops for potential applicants and we'll post a recording of our presentation for those who aren't able to attend a webinar, or would like to revisit the workshop prior to applying. We plan to begin accepting applications on Jan. 15, 2026.

Funding is available statewide. Priority is given to projects that benefit streamflows, projects in adopted plans prepared under the Streamflow Restoration Law (chapter 90.94 RCW), projects in areas specified under the law, projects that benefit ESA threatened and endangered salmonids or other native species of concern, and projects that emphasize environmental justice.

The law invests $300 million over 15 years in projects that will help fish and streamflows. Visit the Streamflow Restoration page to learn more about the law and how we are working on implementation.
