Unless purchasing equipment, no minimum match is required. Motorized equipment valued at less than $50,000 requires a 25% match. Motorized equipment valued at $50,000 or more require a 20% match.
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.
