Our mission is to protect the natural and cultural resources of the Coachella Valley: the scenic, wildlife, cultural, geologic, and recreational resources that make this such a splendid place for people and all the other life forms with which we share this special place.
The grant program offered by the Coachella Valley Mountains Conservancy focuses on acquiring open space to protect wildlife or cultural resources, and to enhance the recreational and educational use of that land. Specifically, it aims to fund projects that acquire mountainous or natural community conservation lands in the Coachella Valley and its surrounding mountains. In some cases, grants may also support capital improvements on existing conservation lands. While matching funds are preferred, they are not a requirement for grant consideration. This program supports propositions related to clean water, clean air, safe neighborhood parks, coastal protection, safe drinking water, water quality and supply, flood control, and river protection, showcasing a broad commitment to environmental preservation and improvement. Priority is given to acquisitions that align with the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan, illustrating a targeted approach to safeguarding biodiversity and natural resources in the area.
