The Sarasota Bay Partners Grants Program promotes environmental education, community involvement, and stewardship to improve the overall quality of Sarasota Bay and its tributaries. To support these goals, funding is available from SBEP each year for local projects that focus on Habitat Restoration and Water Quality or Bay-Related Environmental Education and Community Stewardship.

Businesses, non-profit organizations, schools, academic institutions, civic associations, religious organizations, neighborhood/homeowners’ associations, and local governments located in Sarasota and Manatee counties with projects that will benefit the Sarasota Bay watershed are eligible to receive funding. Please contact Darcy Young, Director of Planning and Communications by email or (941) 955-8085 for more information.
