About this program

Arizona Water Infrastructure Finance Authority (WIFA) is administering Round 5 of the Water Conservation Grant Fund (WCGF), a $200 million state-established program offering awards to support water conservation projects—up to $250,000 per project or up to $3,000,000 per program—for activities such as infrastructure efficiency upgrades, groundwater recharge and storage, rainwater harvesting, graywater systems, turf removal, drought‑resistant landscaping, and conservation education and research. Eligible applicants are Arizona public entities (cities, towns, counties, districts, commissions, authorities, or other public entities organized under Arizona law or a voter‑approved charter); non‑governmental organizations may apply only in partnership with an eligible public entity. A 25% cost share is required, and applicants should consult the WCGF program page for application details and deadlines.
