Special Investment Partnerships (SIP)

The Special Investment Partnership (SIP) is a funding tool that OWEB may elect to use in situations where an important and extremely beneficial project (or group of related projects) requires an interaction or funding mechanism different than those provided by OWEB's grant programs. The goal of the SIP is the same as that of OWEB overall - to help create and maintain healthy watersheds and natural habitats that support thriving communities and strong economies.
Grant Program
The Grant Program at OWEB manages how project applications are processed, reviewed, and recommended for funding to the OWEB Board, and how grants are tracked during their implementation. There are five general categories of projects eligible for OWEB funding.
1. On-the-ground watershed management (restoration, small grants and acquisitions)
2. Assessment and/or monitoring of natural resource conditions
3. Opportunities for learning about watershed concepts (education/outreach)
4. Watershed Council Support
5. Technical Assistance
