Description

The National Park Service’s Chesapeake Gateways program is offering competitive grants for projects that enhance outdoor recreation and natural, historical, and cultural tourism in the Chesapeake Bay watershed and connect those experiences to community economic development. Eligible projects may improve visitor amenities and access, develop or expand recreational and heritage experiences, strengthen local tourism capacity, support Tribal tourism, or organize community events and festivals. Projects must serve a public purpose and align with the program’s interpretive themes. Construction is generally not supported except for structural improvements; land or building acquisition, archaeology projects, and endowments are also ineligible. Applicants must be non-federal Chesapeake Gateways Network members or be pursuing self-nomination as a Place or Experience. The two grant categories have different award ranges: $25,000–$50,000 for projects linking tourism and economic impact, and $10,000–$20,000 for network or community events. Applications are submitted through Grants.gov and must include the applicable federal forms, a project narrative, a detailed budget, and other required statements or attachments. The project narrative is limited to eight pages, with a minimum 11-point font and one-inch margins. The anticipated project period is May 1, 2027, through April 30, 2029.
