The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has opened the Water Quality Grants Portal for Fiscal Year 2022-23. DEP has launched this portal to provide eligible entities the opportunity to submit proposals for each fiscal year’s water quality grant programs.

This site is another way in which DEP continues to prioritize improved water quality through funding opportunities for Florida stakeholders by having grant information in a centralized location.

Available Grant Opportunities:
