Federal grant $$$ for trail management

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I get emails about grants that are available from the Federal government and I noticed this one, there are actually two identical grants available. Hopefully someone might be able to take advantage of this for OHV use.

Synopsis Modification History
There are currently no modifications for this opportunity.

I just saw this.

I know they're closed now, but generally are these grants open to average Joe's like us, or do you need to be associated with a group, like ours, or something like UNLV?


I ask because we've been trying for years to get grant for the "green" aspects of our project (which only a few people here know about) and sent in many grant applications and nothing ever comes of it.

I think most of the grants are required to be given to a not for profit entity.
There may be a few that do not have this requirement, but very few.

But never hurts to ask for the money though.
