Chesapeake Bay Trust

Chesapeake Bay Trust is a recipient of federal grant awards, focusing on environmental conservation and education initiatives in the Chesapeake Bay region. The organization has been awarded multiple cooperative agreements and project grants from civilian agencies, demonstrating its commitment to preserving and enhancing the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Although its registration in SAM.gov expired in 2005, Chesapeake Bay Trust continues to receive federal grant funding, with its most recent award dated July 1, 2023. The Trust appears to specialize in environmental stewardship, youth engagement, and capacity building for outdoor learning programs.

The Trust's federal grant portfolio includes diverse projects aimed at supporting the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem and its surrounding communities. One significant award from the National Park Service supports youth conservation jobs in the Chesapeake watershed, promoting environmental awareness and providing employment opportunities for young people. Another grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration focuses on building environmental education capacity through a regional outdoor learning network initiative and mini-grants program. Additionally, the Environmental Protection Agency has awarded the Trust substantial funding to support Chesapeake Bay Program Goal Implementation Teams, work groups, and action teams in meeting their responsibilities under the 2014 Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement. These grants collectively demonstrate Chesapeake Bay Trust's role in facilitating environmental education, conservation efforts, and community engagement throughout the Chesapeake region.
