The Connecticut River Joint Commissions' annual Partnership Program has enabled Valley residents and organizations to act on their vision of creating a prosperous region that respects its environment, culture, and history. Grants of $500-5,000 support a variety of locally-inspired projects, including those that improve water quality in the Connecticut River watershed of Vermont and New Hampshire.

This federal seed money has been matched 10:1 by local generosity, even though no match is officially required.
