Readiness and Recreation Initiative Grant Program

Eligible applicants include state agencies and local units of government (e.g., state political subdivisions such as cities, counties, and special purpose districts such as park districts) with a REPI Partnership Agreement area.

Match Ratio: 50:50

The minimum grant request may be no lower than $250,000. The maximum grant request may not exceed $5 million. Applicants must include letters of support documenting secured contributions of matching share from the military installation(s) involved, clearly stating the amount and type of contribution.
