Ohio Watershed Management Funding Opportunities Table (ODA Division of Soil and Water Conservation)

A continuously maintained, sortable table of roughly thirty watershed and water quality funding sources available in Ohio, with focus areas, application deadlines, and notes.

The Ohio Department of Agriculture's Division of Soil and Water Conservation maintains a single sortable table listing watershed management funding opportunities available to Ohio applicants, last updated August 3, 2026. Each row gives the grant name and link, the administering organization, the focus areas and eligible practices, the application due date, and notes on anticipated cycles. Sources tracked include Ohio EPA programs (Water Resource Restoration Sponsor Program, Water Pollution Control Loan Fund, Clean Water Act Section 319(h) grants, Chloride Reduction Grants, GLRI stacked agricultural BMPs), Ohio DNR programs (H2Ohio Wetland Grant Program, Coastal Management Assistance Grants, AMLER), federal programs (NRCS RCPP and Conservation Innovation Grants, USFWS North American Wetlands Conservation Act small grants, NOAA Great Lakes fish habitat grants), regional districts (Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District, Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District), and private and foundation sources (Freshwater Future, The Nature Conservancy, Enbridge Gas Ohio, SARE). For H2O members and partners working in Ohio, this is the fastest single view of what is open, what has closed, and what is expected to reopen. It is a useful complement to the H2O Resource Library rather than a substitute, since it is Ohio-only and does not cover PA or WV.
