2026 Emergency Management Grant

The Colorado State Conservation Board approved the use of a limited amount from their general funds dedicated to an Emergency Management grant. Conservation districts affected by or currently experiencing a natural disaster in their community are eligible to apply for this funding opportunity. This emergency management grant opportunity is for conservation districts that are in need of administrative dollars to help recover from natural disasters. 

• All Conservation Districts that are affected by/or going through a natural disaster are eligible to apply.  

• Maximum amount: $2,500

• Staffing & Coordination: These dollars are intended to help with overtime hours spent in emergency meetings with producers, County Commissioners, and Emergency Coordinators. 

• Equipment Clause: While primarily for administration, up to 10% of the total requested amount may be used for the urgent purchase of emergency equipment (e.g., radios, field safety gear) 

Please be sure to read the application,  guidelines, and reporting requirement before submitting your application to ensure full understanding of the requirements and commitment involved. 

Contact the CSCB main office or your regional CSCB Field Specialist with questions about the program.
