An advised fund of York County Community Foundation, the Codorus Watershed Endowment (CWE) is a substantial source of charitable support for the stream's improvement and the benefit of the many York Countians who use and enjoy this critical resource - for agriculture, industry, recreation and wildlife, and for drinking water and other municipal purposes. The Endowment was created in December, 2001, with the Foundation's receipt of a $2 million payment from Glatfelter of Spring Grove, PA., as part of a consent decree settling litigation.
A committee of respected environmental, business and civic leaders has been appointed to lead and advise grants from the Endowment. In addition to its leadership and support of other promising initiatives to protect and improve the watershed over time, the Endowment will award grants for projects of local not-for-profit and/or governmental organizations, in response to competitive proposals. Eligible proposals must advance the Endowment's goals and reflect the guidelines and limitations for grants described. Through 2008, at least $20,000 annually will be available for such grants.
Codorus Watershed Grant applications are due September 15th for the fall grant cycle.
