Pennsylvania Water Rebates

Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania Water Rebates

The Pennsylvania Native Plant Society awards competitive grants of $500 to $1,500 for projects that use Pennsylvania native plants. This is a grant, not a rebate, and it runs on a fixed annual cycle: applications open January 15 and close February 15, with winners announced March 1. Funds can go toward native plant materials, project supplies, and project-specific educational expenses. PNPS membership is required to apply.

How to apply

  1. Become an active PNPS member if you are not already (students exempt)
  2. Prepare a project description, native plant list, and budget
  3. Submit a complete application between January 15 and February 15
  4. Wait for winners to be announced March 1 and accept by March 15 if selected
  5. Complete the project and submit receipts and documentation for reimbursement

What you'll need

  • Proof of active PNPS membership
  • Project description and goals
  • Pennsylvania native plant list (100% native, 70% straight species)
  • Project budget
  • Receipts and documentation for reimbursement after the project

Pollinator Patch can help: It builds a Pennsylvania-native plant list that meets the 100% native and 70% straight-species rules, designs an HOA-friendly layout, and assembles the plant list and project description for your grant application.

Avoid these mistakes

  • Don't include non-native plants. Projects must be 100% Pennsylvania native, at least 70% straight species.
  • Don't miss the February 15 deadline. Incomplete or late applications do not qualify.
  • Don't reapply within two years of a prior award. Recipients must wait two years.
