Call for proposals: Native Grass Manual Website. Colorado WaterWise and the Native Grass Working Group are seeking proposals from website designers/developers to create an independent educational website about using native grasses. This website will feature photo galleries, information, interactive tools, project case studies, and resources to help the website users be more successful installing and maintaining native grasses in irrigated landscapes in Colorado. Final proposals are due at 11:59 pm on November 15, 2023. Learn more here.
Request for Proposals: Ag Drought Resilience Projects. Successful projects will help test concepts and collect data that can demonstrate the ability to either reduce water use and/or increase long-term resilience to reduced water supplies. Current projects range from $2,000 to $30,000. We do not have a match requirement, but matching funds will make your project more competitive. We are not interested in funding general irrigation efficiency improvements like installing sprinklers, drip irrigation, or piping/lining ditches. Apply here by December 1st.
