Great Urban Parks Campaign Grant Application
_
, The purpose of this grant opportunity is to demonstrate the effectiveness of green
� infrastructure to positively affect environmental change in underserved low-income
� communities and communities of color, and thereby increase community engagement,
� connection to nature, and physical activity by community residents. The intention is to create
` replicable model projects that provide strategies and lessons learned for application by a
� wide range of communities.
: This RFA will fund green infrastructure pro�ects in parks that achieve each of the following �
�� key objectives:
; 1. Increased public access to recreational opportunities and access to nature via parks in
� underserved low-income communities and communities of color
2. Improved environmental quality and increased hazard mitigation by reducing flooding,
improving the site's ability to hold and retain stormwater, improving water quality,
improving wildlife habitat, and increasing biodiversity ;
3. A community engaged in improving environmental quality through green infrastructure ;
�
� solutions to stormwater management
�
It is anticipated that this RFA will fund grants between $350,000 and $575,000. The maximum
': grant amount that will be awarded to a single applicant is $575,000. Matching funds are not
; required. However, it is expected that this grant will supplement substantial secured funding
� necessary to complete the proposed project. The grant check will be distributed in full upon
� execution of a grant agreement. Limited technical advisory will be provided by the National
� Recreation and Park Association, the American Planning Association, and the Low Impact
; Development Center, Inc. Grantees will be required to plan and conduct ongoing evaluation
to assess and demonstrate social and environmental outcomes. Applications are due by
