2026 Water Fund Board Challenge

In 2026, some dedicated members of the NLWC board have, once again, come together to offer a generous Water Fund Challenge Grant to the organization. The NLWC’s Water Fund supports our extensive water quality research, programs, and initiatives. Projects supported by the NLWC’s Water Fund in 2026 include:

Eelgrass restoration in Nantucket Harbor • Monitoring of municipal zoning, planning, and conservation meetings • PFAS research and education • Island pond sampling • Harmful Algal Bloom (HAB) monitoring • Weekly rainwater sampling • Dye tab distribution for vessels in Nantucket Harbor • Eelgrass-friendly mooring initiative • State of the Harbor Forum • Island youth education programs

Any gift to our Water Fund will be matched on a 1:1 basis up to $75,000.
