San Francisco Green Infrastructure Grant Program

San Francisco’s Green Infrastructure Grant program funds green stormwater infrastructure on large properties and in the public right-of-way. Projects include permeable pavement, bioretention, rainwater harvesting, rain gardens, and vegetated roofs. They must capture stormwater from at least .5 acres of impervious surface and can receive up to $2.5M.
