Description

The National Park Service’s Chesapeake Gateways program is offering competitive grants in two categories: Linking Tourism and Economic Impact Projects ($25,000–$50,000) and Network/Community Events ($10,000–$20,000). Projects should enhance outdoor recreation and natural, historical, or cultural tourism, connect visitors and residents with watershed resources, and support community economic development. Eligible activities include improving visitor experiences and access, developing recreational and heritage experiences, and organizing public events or festivals. Construction is generally not supported except for structural improvements; land or building acquisition, archaeology projects, alcohol purchases, and lobbying are ineligible costs. Applicants must be non-federal Chesapeake Gateways Network members or be pursuing self-nomination as a Place or Experience, and projects must take place within the watershed. Applications require federal forms, a project narrative of no more than eight pages, a detailed budget and budget narrative, and other disclosures or attachments when applicable. Applications are submitted through Grants.gov. The program anticipates 26 awards from $1,000,000 in total funding; cost sharing is not required.
