Craven Soil and Water Conservation District Cost Share Funds

How it works

Craven Soil and Water Conservation District says it is now accepting applications for participation in its conservation cost-share programs. The page lists four programs available through this notice:

• North Carolina Agricultural Cost Share Program
• North Carolina Agricultural Water Resources Assistance Program
• North Carolina Community Conservation Assistance Program
• North Carolina Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program

Applicants must complete a printable “Pre-Application Form.” Hardcopy applications are also available at the Craven SWCD office upon request. Applications received during the initial batching period are ranked using a Ranking Form approved for the specific program, and higher-scoring applications are funded first.

What the money covers

The page does not describe specific eligible home-hardening projects or give a breakdown of covered improvements. It only states that these are conservation cost-share programs with funds available.

Amounts and matching

No fixed rebate, grant cap, reimbursement percentage, or matching requirement is stated on the page. The available funds are awarded based on ranking and funded until exhausted.

How to apply

Homeowners or other applicants are instructed to complete the printable pre-application form. Applications can also be obtained in hardcopy at the Craven SWCD office. Questions can be directed to the office by phone or by visiting in person.

Timing and deadlines

The initial batching period runs from July 1 through August 31. If all available funds are not used during that period, monthly batching periods continue until all remaining funds are contracted. The page does not give a final closing date.
