Outdoor Recreation and Habitat Conservation Grant Programs
This page last updated February 25, 2008

General Information About Our Grant Programs  The Recreation and Conservation Funding Board (RCFB) administers several grant programs for recreation and habitat conservation purposes. Depending on the program, eligible project applicants can

include municipal subdivisions of the state (cities, towns, and counties, or port, utility, park and recreation, and school districts), Native American tribes, state agencies, and in some cases, federal agencies and nonprofit organizations. To be considered for funding assistance, most grant programs require that the proposed project will be operated and maintained in perpetuity for the purposes for which funding is sought. Most grant programs also require that sponsors complete a systematic planning process prior to seeking RCFB funding. Grants are awarded by the Board based on a public, competitive process which weighs the merits of proposed projects against established program criteria. For more information on grant programs please contact an outdoor grant manager.
