It operates under the rules of the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) with additional eligibility requirements focused on population size (25,000 or more per the 2020 Census) and underserved/low-income community status. Grants are competitive at the federal level and administered through the National Park Service (NPS), with applications coordinated through Maryland's Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Two application rounds are offered each year: a Spring Round (pre-applications due April 15 to DNR, full applications due June 1 to NPS) and a Fall Round (pre-applications due September 15 to DNR, full applications due November 1 to NPS). The minimum grant amount is $300,000 (requiring a $600,000 total project cost) and the maximum is $15,000,000 (requiring a $30,000,000 total project cost). Anticipated awards: 25–40 per calendar year. Projects must be located in a community determined to be underserved using CEJST, EJScreen, or other written documentation. Agreement term is 1–3 years, negotiated per project. The program is described as a 'Recurring Notice 5 Year' with submission deadlines announced through November 1, 2029.","funding":{"details":"Minimum grant amount is $300,000 (requiring a $600,000 total project cost); maximum grant amount is $15,000,000 (requiring a $30,000,000 total project cost)."},"funders":{"primary":{"id":"42536c33-b91d-5f66-963b-2b5b900a1c0a","name":"Maryland Department of Natural Resources","identifiers":{"otherIds":{"org:opengrants:funder":{"registry":{"code":"org:opengrants:funder","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-opengrants-funder.json"},"id":"8556cb2d-09b9-417a-908b-d05419dbeb9c","allIds":[{"id":"8556cb2d-09b9-417a-908b-d05419dbeb9c","status":"active"},{"id":"c1f3f66f-19bf-4a85-a3e7-345d1f47f0c8","status":"active"},{"id":"d390ba3b-e626-4786-af29-083ae1dbf16d","status":"active"},{"id":"36afff7c-9ffb-45af-88d5-acad7bf052c5","status":"active"},{"id":"a19858de-caae-4dcb-9d71-67b981ec3cc3","status":"active"},{"id":"3de653ec-d838-46bc-b04b-49e94a66b9af","status":"active"},{"id":"1445fcf0-5ba3-4bf2-9a84-363d323a6f02","status":"active"},{"id":"906d2d68-f554-4b2a-9299-646c26454cb5","status":"active"},{"id":"42641978-0772-4845-ac37-6901ed4ac7fc","status":"active"},{"id":"0fb5494c-c723-4214-b5d7-e49f61345224","status":"active"},{"id":"c3801314-d667-41a3-b147-7b17be1838fa","status":"active"}]},"org:us:md:agency":{"registry":{"code":"org:us:md:agency","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-us-md-agency.json"},"id":"DNR"}}}}},"keyDates":{"otherDates":{"cycle":{"name":"Application cycle","eventType":"other","details":"Recurring"}}},"acceptedApplicantTypes":[{"value":"government_state","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_county","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_municipal","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_special_district","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"non_profit_with_501c3","description":"Nonprofit"},{"value":"nonprofit_without_501c3","description":"Nonprofit"}],"source":"https://dnr.maryland.gov/land/Pages/NCG.aspx","customFields":{"contactInfo":{"name":"contactInfo","fieldType":"object","value":{"name":"Molly Pickel","email":"molly.pickel@maryland.gov","phone":"443-223-4302"},"description":"Program contact","schema":"https://commongrants.org/custom-fields/contactInfo"},"eligibilityCriteria":{"name":"eligibilityCriteria","fieldType":"object","value":{"details":"Local governments, counties, municipalities, and eligible organizations in underserved/low-income communities in Maryland with a population of 25,000 or more seeking to develop or improve parks and outdoor recreation facilities.
