SWIG Seeks Application Reviewers
Since 2018, SNEP Watershed Implementation Grants (SWIG) has awarded more than $12 million in grants to programs and partnerships working to restore clean water, healthy ecosystems and sustainable communities throughout Southeast New England. The SWIG Application Review Committee (ARC) advises RAE and EPA on all funding decisions.
This year, the ARC will assist in awarding $3 million in SWIG grants to support high-impact restoration projects in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. RAE is seeking additional reviewers to join this independent, interdisciplinary advisory committee.
Participation on the ARC is a great way to stay up to date on restoration work going on throughout the region, while making a significant contribution toward improving Southeast New England’s environment and communities.
If interested, please read our Request for Reviewers and respond by March 30.
