Looking for resources to help fund your project?

Apply for a GSI Mini-Grant from Stewardship Partners to help fund green infrastructure projects, like a green roof. The amount you can receive depends on the size of your roof’s drainage area. If you are already eligible for RainWise, you can still apply for a GSI Mini-Grant to fund additional improvements alongside your RainWise rebate.
