Opportunity Summary:
The 2011 CBGN Financial Assistance Awards is a National Park Service (NPS), Chesapeake Bay Office funding opportunity designed to support projects that develop new or improved public access to the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries. The program is specifically tied to the Chesapeake Bay Gateways and Watertrails Network (CBGN), meaning the money is intended to strengthen and enhance the visitor experience, recreation opportunities, and access points connected to designated CBGN sites and water trails. For 2011, the stated priority is public access site development, with an emphasis on projects that help advance the development of designated CBGN water trails and/or contribute to nationally significant routes including the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail (CAJO) and the Star Spangled Banner National Historic Trail (STSP). In practical terms, the opportunity is geared toward tangible, on-the-ground improvements that make it easier and safer for the public to reach and use Bay-related places and routes.
Funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates an active partnership role for NPS during the life of the award rather than a simple pass-through grant. The total estimated funding available for this round is $500,000, with NPS expecting to make about 8 awards. Individual awards can range from a $10,000 minimum up to a $250,000 maximum, giving applicants room to propose anything from smaller targeted upgrades to larger, more comprehensive access development efforts. The announcement also notes a cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants should plan to contribute non-federal match (cash and/or eligible in-kind contributions, depending on the detailed program rules) as part of the overall project budget.
Eligibility is restricted and not open-ended. Only designated CBGN sites and water trails can be funded, and applications must be tied directly to those designated locations. Applications may be submitted either by the managing organization responsible for the CBGN site or water trail, or by a partner organization that has been designated to carry out the project at that site or on that trail. In other words, even if a capable nonprofit or local government wants to apply, the project still needs to be anchored to a formally designated CBGN site or water trail and have the appropriate organizational relationship to that site or trail.
Key administrative details include the Funding Opportunity Number 42502011 and CFDA number 15.930 (Chesapeake Bay Gateways Network). The opportunity was posted March 9, 2011, and the application deadline is 4:00 p.m. on Monday, April 4, 2011. Additional program information and materials are referenced through the program link at www.baygateways.net/grants.cfm. For applicants who cannot access the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact is Peggy Wall, Administrative Officer at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 410-260-2473.
