The purpose of the Legacy Partners program is to expend partnerships to protect and restore Minnesota's water resources.

The clean Water Fund was established with the purpose of protecting, enhancing, and restoring water quality in lakes, rivers, and streams in addition to protecting ground water and drinking water sources from degradation.

Reporting Overview

A work plan must be approved before work can begin on this grant. The activities from the application will automatically be transferred to the work plan; however, additional details may be required at the work plan stage.

The work plan will lock upon submittal to BWSR for approval, preventing edits to the approved budget but allowing you to enter expenses and reporting details as work is completed. If you need make revisions to the work plan after it has been approved and locked, please consult with your Board Conservationist or grant manager.

Grant recipients are required to report on grant outcomes, activities, and accomplishments in eLINK according to the requirements outlined in the grant agreement and policies within BWSR’s Grants Administration Manual. Clean Water Fund grant agreements stipulate that the grantee must “comply with requirements for project signage.” The logo may be displayed on legacy-funded construction projects; at access points to any land or water resources restored, protected, or enhanced through Legacy funds; or on printed and other materials funded with money from one or more of the funds. The Legacy logo should be prominently displayed on the grantee’s website.
