The NFF funds projects benefiting America's National Forests and Grasslands through MAP by pairing federal funds provided through a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Forest Service with nonfederal dollars raised by award recipients, multiplying the resources available to benefit the National Forest System. There is no official minimum or maximum award amount for the MAP program, and successful proposals vary widely in budget size. In recent years, NFF has considered applications ranging from less than $5,000 to over $70,000.
Eligible entities include:
- Non-profit (501c3) organizations
- Tribal governments and organizations
- Educational Institutions
Projects must take place on U.S. National Forests or Grasslands, or on adjacent public lands, involve the public through in-person engagement, and demonstrate a benefit to the National Forest System lands.
Projects funded in this round will begin in September or October 2025 and may run for up to 18 months.
1:1 match of nonfederal cash funds directly received by the applicant organization.
