A matching grant requires the community or project team to contribute resources such as donated funds, materials, or volunteer time in order to unlock the grant award. Everyone deserves access to a quality park, and Park Pride is committed to advancing equitable investment across our service area.
Matching requirements may be waived for qualified applicants in historically disinvested communities, as determined by data from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

We remain deeply committed to this priority.

Here is how the bottleneck works, why it matters even for recipients who already have an award letter, and what nonprofits, universities, states, and tribes should do to protect projects that depend on Interior dollars.
