Summary

This grant program supports community development and conservation efforts within a designated region in the northeastern United States. The funding is designed for local governments and municipal entities that are working to enhance regional planning, preserve natural and cultural resources, and improve access to outdoor and heritage areas. Individual applicants and private businesses are not eligible for this opportunity.


Grant awards typically range from $20,000 to $100,000, depending on the project’s scale and scope. Smaller awards often support single-community initiatives, while larger awards may be available for projects involving partnerships among multiple municipalities. Eligible uses of funds include planning and design studies, environmental and heritage education, restoration or enhancement of public spaces, trail and park improvements, and other projects that foster sustainable community development.


Applicants are encouraged to show how their proposed work will contribute to broader regional goals, such as environmental protection, cultural preservation, and increased public engagement. A local funding match is usually required to demonstrate shared responsibility and community investment in the project. Proposals that promote collaboration among neighboring communities or that provide clear long-term benefits are more likely to receive funding.


Applications are accepted periodically throughout the year, with decisions based on demonstrated need, project readiness, and alignment with regional objectives. This opportunity offers meaningful support for communities seeking to strengthen local character, protect natural beauty, and expand opportunities for residents and visitors to connect with their surroundings.
