How to get a Trails Grant

First, let a Trails Grants Committee member know if you are working on a project and we will discuss the scope, size and other elements of your proposed grant request. The Trails Grants Committee will need a letter of need from the land agency you are working with. The letter should outline the project, who is involved, if we have other partners in the project, total estimated cost, number of man hours if volunteers are being used, and any gifts in kind, meaning material contributions. We need to know if there is any other cash coming into the project and where it is coming from. There are several rides in the US that donate their net proceeds to the land agency for improvementes in the ride site. We need to know if the ride management is going to be putting any cash into the project. A layout of the site and notes to the site as to what is going to take place will be required. The more we know about a project the better off you will be to secure a grant.

Review of grants will be an on-going process. Requests should be made as soon as your project has clear definition.
