Great Lakes Stewardship
Funding Priorities
The goal of the GLFT's Great Lakes Stewardship
grant category is to increase awareness and understanding
of the ecology of the Great Lakes so that Michigan’s
residents become (1) active and effective stewards of the
Great Lakes and (2) advocates for strategies that support
the long-term sustainability of the Great Lakes fisheries.
This goal is being achieved primarily through
the Great Lakes Stewardship Initiative (GLSI).

to get involved.
Outside of the GLSI, the GLFT also funds projects
that:
- increase awareness and understanding of the
ecology of the Great Lakes so that Michigan’s residents
become (1) active and effective stewards of the Great Lakes
and (2) advocates for strategies that support the long-term
sustainability of the Great Lakes fisheries;
- have stewardship benefits primarily directed
to the Lake Michigan basin of the Great Lakes;
- complement and enhance (but not duplicate)
existing stewardship efforts in the Great Lakes basin;
- involve sufficient support and collaboration
of individuals and/or organizations;
- contribute to Michigan's education reform
efforts;
- include a plan for effectively communicating
results;
- include a plan to evaluate the project;
- include a plan to sustain the effort beyond
the GLFT grant;
- have large benefits relative to the GLFT
investment requested;
- involve applicants that have the capacity
to administer and complete the proposed project.
