Colcom Foundation Local Environment and Stewardship Grants

Rolling letters of inquiry for southwestern Pennsylvania watershed protection, land conservation, and greenspace projects.

Colcom's regional giving supports advocacy, land conservation, watershed protection, and community and ecological sustainability across southwestern PA. Historical grants have a median around $73,000 with a range from $500 to $1.6 million, including a $1 million award to the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy in August 2025 for Upper Allegheny watershed land protection. First-time applicants start with a letter of inquiry, accepted on a rolling basis.
