Transform your city’s communities and close the park equity gap with funding from the federal Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership (ORLP) grant program. Established in 2014 and supported by the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF), the ORLP offers 50/50 matching grants to create new parks or revitalize existing parks in underserved urban neighborhoods.

The Department of Interior recently announced $254 million for local parks, the largest investment ever in the program’s history. Now is the time to secure funding for your urban park project. Grants can be used for land acquisition, new park development, or the substantial renovation of existing parks, to (re)connect people with the outdoors. Join our upcoming webinar, presented in partnership with the National Park Service (NPS) and National Recreation and Parks Association (NRPA), to learn how to maximize your chances of success in the 8th application round and bring much-needed park spaces to those who need it most. NPS staff will walk you through applicant and project eligibility, explain the application and selection process, and share expert tips on writing a strong proposal.
