FY 2020 Tribal Heritage Grant Program

The National Park Service provides matching grants to states and through states to local governments for the acquisition and development of lands and waters for outdoor recreation purposes.

The objective of this Agreement is to facilitate efforts of the Kaibab Paiute Tribe of Arizona (Tribe) to engage Paiute Indian youth and elders in the values and management of traditional Paiute lands now part of the Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument. During a three (3) day, two (2) night camping trip to Mount Trumbull, or an alternative location, Southern Paiute youth and tribal elders have an opportunity to re-establish their connections to monument resources via instructional activities led by tribal elders.

This Agreement establishes a strategic working relationship between NPS and The Conservation Fund (TCF), whose variety of community focused services related to merging economic and conservation goals provides valuable expertise for advancing Gateways Network and Chesapeake conservation and restoration goals. The TCF, through its Conservation Leadership Network (CLN) and the Conservation Finance Network (CFN), will be a key near- and long-term partner in support of NPS efforts to advance land conservation. The CLN provides services focused on collaborative problem-solving --bringing people together to facilitate on-the-ground results related to conservation and community development. The CFN advances land and resource conservation by expanding the use of innovative and effective funding and financing strategies.THIS ANNOUNCEMENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR APPLICATIONS. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service’s intention to award financial assistance. Detailed statements of work will be defined at the task agreement level based on the goals, objectives, and public purpose of this agreement.

The LWCF State and Local Assistance program is operated by the National Park Service (NPS) in partnership with designated lead agencies in each of the 50 States as well as American Samoa, the District of Columbia, Guam, the Northern Marianas Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Each fiscal year Congress allocates money from the LWCF for this program, which is in turn allocated to the States based on a legislative formula. To be eligible to submit applications for funding, States must have a current Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan, or SCORP, in place that assesses demand and need for outdoor recreation resources and sets priorities for the use of LWCF funds. LWCF grants are available to the States to comply with this legislative requirement. The NPS must review and approve each State’s SCORP. A new or updated SCORP must be prepared at least once every 5 years.
