Matching Awards Program
Application Process
Proposals for the Matching Awards Program are selected for funding through a two-stage process. Applicants must first submit a Pre-Proposal to the National Forest Foundation (NFF) via email. After the Pre-Proposals are evaluated, a subset of the submitting organizations is invited to submit Full Proposals with about one month’s notice. The process, from Pre-Proposal submission to notification of Full Proposal funding, generally takes four to five months.
Pre-Proposal guidelines are provided below in the Request for Pre-Proposals. Full proposal guidelines are distributed only to organizations that advance to the Full Proposal round.
Deadlines
The Pre-Proposal submission dates for the 2010 Matching Awards Program are as follows:
Round 1: 11:59 pm (MST) on December 8, 2009
Round 2: 11:59 pm (MDT) on June 4, 2010
Please note that the 2010 RFP has been revised and is different from RFPs used previously.
