Pre-Application Information:

Unless purchasing equipment, no minimum match is required. Motorized equipment requires a 50% match on items valued at $1,000 - $50,000 per unit. The matching share represents that portion of the total project cost provided by non Federal third parties. The matching share may consist of cash contributions (non-federal) and in-kind contributions.

The first step in project preparation is working with the appropriate agency staff. IDPR employs regional staff to cover statewide needs. Please contact your regional specialist.

Please note the Recreational Trails Program and Land & Water Conservation Fund awards are not announced until federal partners approve applications, which is delayed beyond state awards. Do not start work on a project until you have a signed agreement or costs will not be reimbursed.

Applicants are encouraged to submit a draft application in December, giving department staff time to request any needed changes to make the project eligible.

Grants must be received in the new electronic system by 5:00 PM, Friday, January 26, 2018 to be eligible for the grant cycle.

Applications received during this grant period will be rated by the advisory committees in March, and awarded by the Idaho Park and Recreation Board in April or May.
