LEWISBURG -- The Susquehanna Greenway Partnership is pleased to announce the opening of the 2026 Susquehanna Greenway Mini-Grant Program.
This program supports the advancement of outdoor recreation, conservation, trail projects, and programs within the Susquehanna Greenway's 22 counties: Bradford, Cambria, Centre, Clearfield, Clinton, Columbia, Cumberland, Dauphin, Indiana, Juniata, Lackawanna, Lancaster, Luzerne, Lycoming, Montour, Northumberland, Perry, Snyder, Susquehanna, Union, Wyoming, and York. Projects outside this corridor will not be considered.
Eligible applicants include registered non-profit organizations able to apply for DCNR-supported funding and public entities (such as a county, municipality, or municipal agency). Projects must fit within one of these four eligible categories:
• Outreach and education
• Wayfinding and signage
• Parks, land and water trails and active transportation
• Temporary placemaking
Detailed descriptions of these categories are available on the grant landing page at the SGP website.
The following are funding details:
• Up to $25,000 per request
• 1:1 match required (cash or in-kind)
• One award per entity (multiple applications may be submitted for consideration)
• A 10-month contract period (January- October 2027)
The Susquehanna Greenway Mini-Grant Program is financed by a grant from the Community Conservation Partnership Program, under the administration of the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR), Bureau of Recreation and Conservation.
As such, mini-grants may not be used as match for other DCNR-funded projects, and DCNR funding may not be used to match this mini-grant. Awardees must follow all DCNR grant guidelines and acknowledge both SGP and DCNR in all marketing and media.
The application window will close at 4:59 p.m. on Oct. 31. Eligible applicants can apply online.
Awarded projects can expect to be notified in Dec. 2026. Questions may be directed to info@susquehannagreenway.org or 570-478-0178.
