CWEPA Grant Funds Available
We are currently accepting proposals for CWEPA grant funding for this year. If you know of a worthy project we ask that you submit a written proposal describing the project or program and the impact that it will have on protecting or restoring natural resources within Crow Wing County. Proposals can be emailed to: crowwinglakesandrivers@gmail.com

A major responsibility of the Crow Wing LARA board is to administer the CWEPA (Crow Wing Environment Protection Advised) Fund. Approximately $3,000 per year is available to nonprofit or local government organizations wishing to complete an environmental project in Crow Wing County. Proposals must align with the mission of the fund. The purpose of the CWEPA Fund is to provide operational support to projects, programs and activities that lead to the protection, restoration, and preservation of natural resources and environmental assets within Crow Wing County.
