Opportunity Summary:
The Maintenance Assistance Program (MAP) Funding 2015 grant opportunity was a discretionary grant program offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior to strengthen how infrastructure is maintained across the seven U.S. insular areas. The core purpose of the program was not simply to pay for one-off repairs, but to support, develop, improve, and to the greatest extent possible institutionalize better infrastructure maintenance practices. In practical terms, that means building routine, repeatable maintenance systems and capabilities that can be sustained over time, rather than relying on reactive fixes after assets fail.
The opportunity was identified as Funding Opportunity Number "MAP 2015" and was categorized under "Other" for funding activity, with the explanation clarifying that the focus was infrastructure maintenance practices in the insular areas. It was tied to CFDA number 15.875, which covers Economic, Social, and Political Development of the Territories. The program anticipated making around 10 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,081,000 and an award ceiling of $100,000 per grant. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility was targeted specifically to the seven insular areas and organizations that directly serve them. Eligible applicants included the U.S. territories of Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, as well as the Freely Associated States: the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau. In addition, nonprofit institutions and organizations could apply as long as their missions directly benefit those seven insular areas, reflecting an intent to allow both government entities and mission-aligned nonprofits to strengthen local maintenance capacity.
The timeline for the opportunity shows it was posted on September 9, 2014, with a closing date of June 1, 2015 (unchanged from the original closing date). The opportunity was archived on June 1, 2016. For applicants needing more details, the listing referenced an "OIA Grant Program Descriptions" link (OIA referring to the Office of Insular Affairs).
