2 INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND This grant application can only be completed after previously submitting a Letter of Intent (LOI) and receiving DNR confirmation that the LOI meets the required threshold. Applicants are strongly encouraged to thoroughly review the Request for Proposal (RFP) before submitting an application. All projects will be reviewed by the DNR and MPCA Evaluation Team using the evaluation criteria detailed in the RFP. These criteria have been incorporated into this application form. A complete application will consist of the following: 1. Application form (PDF) 2. Budget table (Excel) 3. Letters of support (for applications involving multiple collaborators; any format acceptable) 4. Completed appraisal and DNR Property Information Summary (if project involves the purchase of property) 5. Preliminary designs and other supplemental information (as applicable; 10-page limit) Instructions: • Save this form locally on your computer before completing the application. • Limit responses to the text boxes provided (text not visible within the provided boxes will not be reviewed). • Submit the application electronically to the email address 3MPriority2@state.mn.us before the deadline noted online at mndnr.gov/grants/3mp2. The completed application form and other documents listed above may be submitted as separate files attached to the same email. DNR and MPCA are not responsible for any technical or logistical problems causing an application to be received late. Applications received after the deadline will not be eligible for consideration. Successful applicants are expected to be notified in Spring of 2026. If necessary, the Evaluation Team may contact applicants for additional information on project scope or scale. The DNR and MPCA commissioners will consider the Evaluation Team recommendations, availability of funding, and funding priorities, and will determine the final selection of projects to receive funding. The State reserves the right to offer grant amounts that differ than the applicant’s request. If awarded funds, grant agreements will be based on the template grant agreements found on the Office of Grants Management webpage, here (Local units of government will use the Municipal Grant Contract Agreement. Non-Governmental Organizations will use the Competitive Grant Contract Agreement for Non-Governmental Organizations).
