Opportunity Summary:
The Chesapeake Bay Gateways Network Financial Assistance Program (Funding Opportunity Number NPS CHBA 10001) is a National Park Service grant program that provides cooperative agreement funding to support projects located at designated sites within the Chesapeake Bay Gateways and Watertrails Network. The overall purpose is to strengthen and advance key national trail efforts in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, specifically the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail (CAJO), the Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail (PHNST), the Star Spangled Banner National Historic Trail (STSP), and related national recreational trails. The program is designed to help Gateway sites translate these trail and watershed connections into on-the-ground visitor experiences and community outcomes, tying local places to nationally significant stories, routes, and recreation opportunities across the region.
Funding is focused on three main categories of eligible projects, all of which must take place at designated Gateways and must relate to and advance the development of one or more of the named national trails or associated recreational trails within the Chesapeake watershed. First, the program supports projects that create new or expanded public access to the Chesapeake Bay and its rivers, with the intent of advancing national trails by improving the ways people can physically reach, use, and experience these waters and connected routes. Second, it funds projects that promote a broadly applicable stewardship ethic and that actively foster citizen stewardship of the Chesapeake, meaning efforts that encourage public responsibility, volunteer engagement, and long-term care for the Bay and its resources as part of the trail experience and Gateway mission. Third, it also allows for other projects at designated Gateways that otherwise advance the development of CAJO, PHNST, STSP, and/or national recreational trails in the watershed, giving flexibility for trail-related improvements that may not fit neatly into access expansion or stewardship programming but still clearly move trail development forward.
Eligibility is limited and specific: only designated Gateways in the Chesapeake Bay Gateways and Watertrails Network may apply. Applications can be submitted either by the managing organization for a designated Gateway or by a partner organization that has been designated to carry out the project at the Gateway. The applicant organization must be either a nonprofit qualified under section 501(c) of the Internal Revenue Code or a state or local government entity. If a partner organization applies, the application must also be signed by the Gateway's Chief Executive to confirm the Gateway leadership is aware of and supports the proposal, which helps ensure the project aligns with the Gateway site's priorities and responsibilities.
The opportunity was posted on February 3, 2010, with an application deadline of March 5, 2010, and it was archived on April 4, 2010. The program anticipated making about 12 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $525,000. Individual awards were expected to range from $10,000 (award floor) to $250,000 (award ceiling). Cost sharing or matching is required, so applicants needed to bring non-federal resources to the project budget as part of the financial plan. The funding is listed under CFDA 15.930 (Chesapeake Bay Gateways Network) and is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates a more collaborative relationship with the National Park Service during project implementation than a standard grant.
