Description

The National Park Service’s Chesapeake Gateways program seeks applications for projects that enhance outdoor recreation and natural, historical, or cultural tourism in the Chesapeake Bay watershed and connect visitor experiences to local economic development. Eligible project activities include improving visitor amenities and access, developing recreational and heritage experiences, promoting local tourism, and organizing community events or festivals. Projects must serve a public purpose and be undertaken by an eligible non-federal Chesapeake Gateways Network member or an organization pursuing network membership. Projects outside the watershed are ineligible; construction other than structural improvements, archaeology, land or building acquisition, and endowments are not supported. The program has two funding categories: linking tourism and economic impact projects, with awards of $25,000–$50,000, and network or community events, with awards of $10,000–$20,000. The announcement estimates $1,000,000 in total program funding and 26 awards, with an overall award range of $10,000–$50,000. Applications must include the required federal forms, a project abstract, detailed budget, project narrative, and budget narrative; the project narrative is limited to eight pages, with a minimum 11-point font and one-inch margins. Applications are submitted through Grants.gov.
