These may <br />include user rates and charges, grants, or low-interest loan programs. Revenues generated from <br />stormwater utility fees and charges can be used to fund capital projects. <br />Similarly, watershed districts (and some water management organizations) can fund capital projects <br />with revenues collected through their taxing authority, or through special fees. Additional <br />opportunities may be available to public entities through either community partnerships or <br />partnerships among a combination of public and private entities. In some cases, granting <br />organizations will support nonprofit, nongovernmental or educational programs, but are restricted <br />from directly funding government operations. <br />Community partnerships, where a school, non-profit, or other similar organization is the primary grant <br />applicant and the governmental agency is a partner or subrecipient, may open other granting <br />opportunities where the costs and implementation responsibilities could be shared between <br />organizations. Often, collaborative arrangements, multidisciplinary or public-private partnerships, and <br />the involvement of community stakeholders are supported by granting organizations. <br />The table below summarizes two state programs that could potentially be used to finance stormwater <br />projects in Minnesota. Some programs focus on water quality improvement projects, so water quality <br />benefits of any candidate project would have to be clearly demonstrated. <br />WATER SUPPLY MASTER <br />PLAN- Draft June 2015 <br />
