Grant Impact

The Flint River Soil and Water Conservation District has continuously awarded education grants to Georgia classrooms since 2016. Altogether, FRSWCD has awarded $15,000 in grant funds since then.

We’re now in our eighth year of offering schools and educators across the District education grants. That is 18 awardees and over $15,000 directly into educational projects and programs in our schools. That kind of impact is critical to developing the next generation of conservation and agricultural leaders.
