The Grants Section administers grants to local governments through the Florida Recreation
Development Assistance Program (FRDAP) and the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF).
These are competitive grant programs which provide grants for acquisition or development of
land for public outdoor recreation.
FRDAP is a competitive grant program that provides financial assistance to local
governments for development or acquisition of land for public outdoor recreational purposes.
All county governments and municipalities in Florida and other legally constituted local
governmental entities with the legal responsibility for the provision of outdoor
recreational sites and facilities for the use and benefit of the public are eligible. The
maximum grant request may not exceed $200,000. FRDAP application packets are available at
the Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Recreation and Parks, Office of
Information and Recreation Services, Mail Station #585, 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard,
Tallahassee, FL 32399-3000. For more information, call (850) 245-2501, e-mail to
Angie.Bright@dep.state.fl.us.
ATTENTION:
Unfortunately, the Legislature and Governor did not allocate funding toward the FRDAP
program this coming fiscal year July 1, 2009-June 30, 2010. Therefore, no
projects submitted for FY 2009-2010 (no matter the scoring) will be funded this time round.
Applicants who submitted projects for the 2009-2010 grant cycle are being given the choice
of rolling-over their current submittals to the 2010-2011 grant cycle and leaving the
standing score as is or conversely, presenting a brand new application during the submission
period. The Office of Information & Recreation Services will be hosting our
2010-2011 Application Submission Cycle and accepting applications the weeks of
September 1-15, 2009, in hopes that funding will be provided next FY 2010-2011, TBD
Spring 2010.
