GrantKentucky Section 319(h) Nonpoint Source Grant — 2026 Application Cycle
Atlas Opportunity Score72/100
FundingNo universal per-project minimum or maximum is published in the current Kentucky guidance. Section 319(h) may reimburse up to 60% of total eligible project cost; a 40% nonfederal match is required and federal funds cannot be used as match.
DeadlineLetter of Intent: November 13, 2026. Full application: February 15, 2027. Mailed applications must be postmarked by midnight; hand-delivered applications must be received by 4:30 p.m. ET. The current official program page does not state an electronic submission method.
Required next actionMonitor the official Kentucky Division of Water page for release of the current-cycle Section 319(h) Grant Documents. The program page currently identifies a November 13, 2026 Letter of Intent date and February 15, 2027 full-application deadline, but do not begin applicant-specific ORIGINAL outreach or treat the cycle as fully application-ready until the current grant document set is posted and reviewed. Kentucky also warns that previously downloaded application forms may contain an obsolete 319 Grant Reporter link, so use only the current official document set after release. Then verify forms, attachments, submission mechanics, amendments, project-specific eligibility and the 40% nonfederal match before action.
