The Conservation Funding Director plays a pivotal role in accessing sources of public dollars to make a real difference to the lands and waters of the Potomac Watershed. The Director serves as a regional expert on federal, state and local funding opportunities for land protection and restoration projects and securing these funds.
This key position is crucial for the success of Potomac Conservancy’s clean water strategy. The Conservancy is leading a regional effort to secure $75-$150 million over the next ten years in state and federal public funding for land protection and restoration in the Potomac River watershed. This additional funding will empower Potomac Conservancy and our partners to dramatically increase the pace of land conservation to meet an ambitious goal of protecting 30 percent of land in the upper Potomac region.
