Description
Before You Apply: Laying the Groundwork for ORLP Success
Preparing a strong application for the Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership (ORLP) program starts well before writing begins. This session will walk participants through the foundational elements that position projects for success—from meeting state and federal eligibility requirements to building the partnerships, community support, and funding strategies needed to compete effectively. Speakers from the National Park Service and Trust for Public Land will break down pre-submission requirements, program priorities, and common challenges, with practical guidance on community engagement, match funding, and long-term project readiness. Participants will also explore real-world examples to better understand what makes projects successful and how these practices can apply to newly eligible tribal and Indigenous communities.
