Q. How would a citizen or private organization obtain a grant?
A. Citizens could apply for a grant either from their state government or from the National Park Service, the Fish and Wildlife Service, or the Bureau of Land Management. The grants will be awarded competitively.

Q. How much matching funding would be required?
A. The citizen or organization applying for the grant would be required to contribute at least 50 percent of the cost of the project. In-kind contributions such as supplies and labor would count towards the 50 percent.

Q. What kinds of projects would be funded?
A. Projects would have to restore or conserve natural resources such as wetlands, streams and other habitat for the benefit of wildlife and people. Restoration of cultural resources or recreation facilities are funded through other programs.

Cool. So I can claim that awhile back, before they put in my subdivision, there was a pond on my land, so I can go dig a pond in my back yard (the labor) for the ducks (restoration), and the Federal government will pay me for it.

"Grants will be awarded competively." Or: "Grants go to the best Grant writer."
