Purpose

In 2023 the Minnesota Legislature established the Clean Water Legacy Partners Grant Program to expand partnerships for clean water. The program is administered by the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) and seeks to protect, enhance and restore water quality in Minnesota by providing funding to partners outside the scope of BWSR’s traditional local government clients.
