Funding Information
NDSL anticipates approximately $1,000,000 in funding will be available for this round, and plans to issue grant funding awards in early 2025.
Uses of Grant
Acceptable uses of grant money include:
- All expenses related directly to the program or project, including, without limitation, expenses related to design and construction; and
- Grant funds may be utilized in ONE of the following manners:
- For the administrative costs of the program or project, not to exceed five percent (5%) of the grant (if budgets include administrative costs of 5 percent, staff hours used to administer the grant are intended to be covered by the 5 percent administrative costs and therefore should not be billed separately); OR
- For indirect costs associated with project labor. The maximum Indirect Cost Rate (IDC) accepted for reimbursement is not to exceed 40 percent of the direct cost base. Maximum reimbursable IDC for grants with the Nevada System of Higher Education is 10 percent for research projects and 8 percent for all other non-research projects. Grantees shall provide sufficient backup documentation to support proposed indirect costs.
- Environmental education/outreach programs. The maximum amount of funds available each year for environmental education programs shall not exceed $25,000 or 10 percent of the available grant funds available January 15th of each year, whichever is more limiting.
- Supplies and equipment purchase/rental. For equipment purchases or rentals, as a general rule, the maximum amount available with any grant is five percent (5%) of the total project costs up to $5,000. It is expected that the grantee will attempt to rent equipment as a first option. If renting equipment is not reasonable based on cost, availability, quality, etc. then equipment expenditures may be approved in advance of the purchase by the grantor. If purchasing equipment, the grantee should identify in the proposal what equipment is proposed for purchase, how it is directly related to the implementation of the project, and why rental equipment will not be utilized. With all equipment purchases the grantor will have the option to retain the equipment upon project completion. If the equipment is being utilized by more than the project, it is generally expected that the equipment costs will be split amongst the other funding entities. There are no cost limitations for supplies.
Eligibility Criteria
Grants will be awarded on a competitive basis to public agencies and nonprofit organizations for projects or programs that promote the preservation and restoration of the natural environment in the Lake Tahoe Basin.
