Community-based Grant Programs

Protecting and restoring Tampa Bay is a team effort. Each year, the TBEP works to secure funds from a variety of sources (federal, state, and local governments; private sector donations; philanthropic gifts; environmental fines; and revenue from the “Tarpon Tag” specialty license plate) to support partner-directed research and restoration projects through community grant programs like Bay Mini-Grants and the Tampa Bay Environmental Restoration Fund.
