Boy this is a hard one. Ask your water utility.

I want in on this one! I'll plant lots lavender & echinacea if some
utility is really dumbass enough to give me a grant to play in the garden.

I suspect the only "grant" would be the savings on the sewer & water bill.
In some particularly drought-stricken municipalities in southern
California & the southwestern states or in Australia, you can get
municiple funding assistance or no-interest loans to install water-saving
greywater systems & rain-catching systems, which'll still be expensive &
have to factor in savings over a decade to begin saving money on the deal.
But the most you can get for xeriscaping is to not pay the punishing water
rates for using too much.
