Marin County Wildlife and Fisheries Advisory Committee

MCSTOPPP is no longer awarding grants through the Clean-Water Stewardship Grant Program. In 2004 MCSTOPPP agreed to use the Marin County Wildlife and Fisheries Advisory Committee (MWFAC) as the advisory committee for disbursing $5-10,000/annually of MCSTOPPP funds allocated for Clean-Water Stewardship community grants. MWFAC awards grant funding to not-for-profit 501(c)3 organizations. The grants must be used to enhance fish and wildlife resources in the county and for public education. Grant proposals are submitted to the MWFAC chair during the first quarter of the calendar year and are recommended on a competitive basis based on availability of funds. Most of the MWFAC grants funds are obtained through fines levied for fish and wildlife violations in Marin County.
