CRR Grants for Hatchery-Associated Projects
The 2025 grant round is open, see key dates below. Year-round engagement is encouraged to develop ideas prepare for future grant rounds.

CRR Program funding is available for on-the-ground HAP projects, or activities that lead to on-the-ground projects, aimed at the reintroduction and recovery of Endangered Species Act-listed (listed) Cowlitz salmon and steelhead populations originating upstream of the Barrier Dam.
