Summary
This grant program provides funding to public agencies and registered nonprofits for the removal and disposal of abandoned or unsafe vessels from waterways. Its primary aim is to improve environmental health, navigation safety, and recreational access. Grant awards typically range from $10,000 to $200,000 per project, depending on scope, vessel quantity, and condition. These grants help cover costs such as vessel removal, transportation, disposal, and related administrative expenses.
Funding is available to county and municipal governments, port authorities, and nonprofit organizations with demonstrated expertise in managing vessel cleanups. Businesses and individuals are not eligible. Applications are accepted annually during a designated period, typically in late winter or early spring, with successful recipients notified later in the year. Funding is awarded once per cycle based on a competitive review process.
Projects are evaluated based on public safety benefits, environmental impact reduction, cost-effectiveness, and the applicant’s capacity to complete the removal. Prior funded applicants must provide accountability reports detailing disposal methods, environmental compliance, and long-term monitoring results.
Recipients benefit from covering major cleanup expenses that are otherwise difficult to finance. The grant encourages strategic partnerships among government agencies, marine enforcement units, environmental groups, and community stakeholders. Eligible projects vary from single-vessel removals in small communities to multi-vessel operations in major waterways.
This opportunity supports local efforts to improve waterway navigation, restore aquatic ecosystems, and reduce hazards in coastal and inland water settings.
Organizations and individuals based in Saskatchewan who are engaged in Environment may be eligible to apply for this funding opportunity. To discover more grants that align with your mission and objectives, visit The Grant Portal and explore listings using the Search Grant tool.
