The Riparian Plant Propagation Program (RPPP) Grant Application for fiscal year 2025 is now open and accepting submissions.
Please review the programmatic guidelines.
This round of funding is open to Washington conservation districts to support:
- The procurement of native trees and shrubs,
- The creation, improvement, and expansion of a holding facility, and
- Maintenance of plants at existing holding facilities.
The award funding selection process for the creation of new holding sites will be guided by the following factors:
- The proposal explains in detail how funds will be used to support plant cultivation until the trees and shrubs are grown out for use in local riparian restoration projects.
- Geographic necessity.
- The district’s expertise in plant cultivation.
- The district’s long-term capacity to maintain plant cultivation for restoration projects.
- Ability to spend, install, and have deliverables completed by June 30, 2025.
- The proposal incorporates community engagement initiatives or partnerships.
The deadline for application submittals for the first review is August 5, 2024 at 5 p.m.
Additional rounds of reviews will occur monthly, contingent upon available funding. Funding for repairs will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis throughout the fiscal year.
All deliverables must be received, and all installation work completed no later than June 30, 2025.
