Clean Water Indiana (CWI) is a state fund administered by ISDA's Division of Soil Conservation under the direction of the State Soil Conservation Board. It provides competitive grants and local matching funds to Indiana Soil & Water Conservation Districts (SWCDs) for sediment- and nutrient-reduction projects and conservation-practice implementation - supporting education, technical assistance, training, and cost-share programs that reach landowners. CWI also provides state matching funds for Indiana's Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program.
Eligibility
Indiana Soil & Water Conservation Districts (SWCDs) apply for CWI grants; the State Soil Conservation Board accepts competitive proposals for targeted projects up to three years in length. Landowners and conservation groups benefit through SWCD-delivered technical assistance and cost-share rather than applying to CWI directly.
Application Instructions
SWCDs submit competitive proposals through the Indiana Grants Management Portal following the CWI Grant Guidance, CWI Application Template, and CWI Scoring Rubric. Grant information for the 2027 cycle is posted on the program page.
