What types of organizations are eligible for funding from the Great Lakes Protection Fund?
The Fund can support virtually any type of organization. The exact type of organization is far less important than the number and breadth of organizations on the project team. Non-profit organizations, individuals, units of government, and for-profit businesses are all eligible for support as long as they show that the proposed work has clear public benefit and that any related financial benefits will accrue to the public good. Government agencies are eligible for support if they show that Fund monies are not being used to replace public funds or support government mandates. Please note that the Fund almost never supports a one-organization project. Most Fund support goes to projects that involve many institutions working together as a temporary project team.
