What: The
Recreational Trails Program provides grant funds to develop
and renovate recreational trails for both motorized and
non-motorized use. It does not fund equipment such as
mowers and gators.
Why: There is a direct connection between
local recreational facilities and public health. The
Recreational Trails Program benefits communities, and
enhances quality of life.
Who Can Apply: Eligible applicants are
city and county governments, state and federal agencies,
and non-profit organizations.
Application Process: The 2007 application
will be available on our web site to download December 1,
2006 with a submission deadline of February 1, 2007.
• $2,500-$50,000 grant request requires a 50/50
match.
• $50,000-$75,000 grant request requires a 60/40
match.
• $75,000-$100,000 grant request requires an 80/20

The deadline for submissions of this grant are February 1,

probably won't be able to file for the Recreational Trails

Clif Bar and AW team up to promote river stewardship and safety efforts in paddling clubs.
American Whitewater and Clif Bar are pleased to announce the 5th annual Clif Bar Flowing Rivers Campaign, pledging $2,500 to American Whitewater Affiliate Clubs for river stewardship work. Funding for this very effective program is provided by Clif Bar.
American Whitewater affiliate clubs have the opportunity to apply for one of two $1,250 grants. Grants will be distributed to clubs for projects that promote river stewardship, conservation, access and/or safety education on our nation’s rivers. This program provides Club Affiliates with the seed money necessary to implement programs in their backyards.
