Matching Awards Program
For Current Grantees
The National Forest Foundation (NFF) is committed to building and supporting community engagement in natural resource management. The NFF provides resources to Forest Service personnel, community members and groups to help them navigate the collaborative process, formalize engagement through contracts and agreements, engage in project design and implementation, access the most current science to inform decision-making, and much more.
Learning Network
The NFF has developed the Learning Network to provide the tools needed to engage in community-based stewardship on our National Forests and Grasslands. The Network is designed according to the NFF's peer learning philosophy of creating opportunities for on-the-ground practitioners to share their successes and challenges and to learn from the experiences of others. NFF offers a resource library, best practices on rotating topics of interest, and more.
Partners working on sustainable forestry issues may also be interested in the products of the National Commission on Science for Sustainable Forestry.
We have collected a variety of resources for grantees of the Matching Awards Program (MAP) to help them through the process:
