public education of and access to the Chesapeake Bay Competitiveness In all cases, grant project proposals will be judged strongest when they: • Support multiple Network goals as described above. For example: o a stewardship project that has an interpretive component; o an access enhancement project that is constructed by volunteers; or o a project to develop a new segment of water trail that will be a contributing segment of the CAJO and/or STSP • Enhance the Gateways and Watertrails Network as a whole. For example: o Cooperative project proposals that involve multiple Gateways in development and implementation to build working relationships; o projects that have clear demonstration value for other Gateways; or o products that are transferable or easily customized for use by other Gateways • Directly involve citizen volunteers in project development and implementation to build their understanding and appreciation of Chesapeake Bay resources and stewardship. • Include specific objectives to “green” the project, such as developing environmentally sensitive designs, incorporating low impact development approaches (e.g., incorporating green roofs and rain gardens, reducing impervious surfaces, etc.), incorporating eco-friendly materials into structural elements of your project, and using green procurement practices (e.g., buying recycled and recyclable materials and/or recycling existing materials for use in your project). • Offer a significant leveraging of Federal funds in excess of the minimum qualifying requirement of a 1:1 non Federal match Tips for Better Proposals Here are some things we look for in effective grant proposals. Examples of the items in bold type may be found at www.baygateways.net/granttips.cfm: • A well thought out description of what you want to do and the specific scope of work that will accomplish it • A clear description of how your project will advance Gateways Network goals and outcomes and improve your ability to function as a Gateway, with measurable examples and a clear means for tracking use post implementation 213
• Clearly defined products that help people understand how your Gateway relates to the Chesapeake Bay • Effective distribution strategies for making sure any print and audiovisual materials get into the hands of the intended audiences • Projects building involvement in Chesapeake stewardship and your Gateway • A detailed and realistic budget with appropriate types of committed matching funds and/or in-kind services • Use of professionally trained contractors or volunteers for any graphic design needs (such as signage, exhibit or publication design) is required; it is helpful to include a list of key experience for any such volunteers • Volunteers helping to carry out the project • A strong relationship between requested grant funds and any proposed matching costs • Clear thought given to how you will ensure the sustainability of your project after the end of the grant period (e.g., how it will be maintained, reprinted, etc.) Note: Also see Sharpening Your Project Focus: Tips for More Competitive Proposals at www.baygateways.net/grants.cfm Here are some things to avoid in a proposal: • Including any items listed in these guidelines as “not funded” • Requesting grant funds to cover the salaries of upper level managers involved in the project • Vague descriptions of intended products or the steps for developing them • Messy or unorganized materials • Supplementary information (maps and other graphic materials, etc.) that exceeds the size limitations described in the section below. • Projects that cannot be completed within 20-24 months • Unrealistic cost estimates • Requesting funds in excess of the maximum grant level What Goes In the Proposal? Key Requirements: • Fifteen (15) paper copies of your complete grant proposal and one (1) electronic copy (disk or CD) of your grant application, budget and scope of work-task & schedule and project deliverables must be received by the National Park Service Chesapeake Bay Office by Noon, Friday, April 17, 2009. Late, faxed, e-mailed or incomplete applications will not be considered. • It is suggested that the entire grant package not exceed 15 pages. 214
