The Retain Your Rain Mini-Grant is back open, and we are accepting applications now through September 1st! Up to $2,500 will be awarded to nonprofits and community organizations to support projects that capture and utilize rainwater.
How can you capture the rain and use it to not only mitigate some of the flooding but also benefit your organization and community? Check out the Retain Your Rain Mini-Grant page for more details and click here for an application. Applications are due by September 1, 2021.
We encourage all who are interested to apply! If you have questions on eligibility requirements, or need input on your project idea, please contact us at (757) 441-2602 or retainyourrain@norfolk.gov.
There are many great examples of citizens doing their part to contribute to a more resilient Norfolk. We want to recognize these tremendous efforts while also educating and inspiring others to do their part as well. Look for these yard signs throughout the City that highlight Retain Your Rain projects. And if you know of other great examples, we want to hear about them! Please email retainyourrain@norfolk.gov. Let’s all learn from and be inspired by each other!
