Money Matters
Money Matters
Maximum grant amount
Applicants can request a maximum grant of $500,000 with each application.
Matching requirement
An applicant must match the grant dollar-for-dollar, 50 percent of the total cost of the project and may contribute more than 50 percent. The appraised value of land to be donated to the applicant can be used as part of the match. The value of in-kind services, such as volunteer work, cannot be used as part of the match.
Land donations
A local government can use the appraised value of donated land as part of the 50% match for the grant. The donor of the land must be a private organization or individual. The applicant must provide a five-year history of conveyance for the property. Land that is transferred to the applicant due to a statute or rule is not considered a donation. Do not transfer ownership to the local government until you have discussed this with your RRS Consultant and read Land Acquisition Requirements section in the application.
Costs to build or renovate facilities
You will be submitting specific cost estimates as part of the PARTF grant application. Get estimates from contractors, architects, or planners who develop parks and recreational facilities. Consider the impact of inflation by assuming that the project may be completed over a three-year period after the grantee signs a contract with the state. See the PARTF grant application for more information.
Costs to acquire land
In the cost estimates, an applicant will use the appraised value of the land that it proposes to buy or that will be donated. See the PARTF application for specific instructions.
