Please note that the CLG grant program is open only to those Iowa cities, counties and land use districts that have signed a Certified Local Government Agreement with the State of Iowa and National Park Service. In addition, CLG cities, counties, and land use districts must be CLGs in good standing and current in their submission of Iowa CLG Annual Report forms (e.g., annual reports through 2010).
In this round, we anticipate awarding approximately $84,000 in CLG grants.
Please contact me before beginning your application. I can be reached at (515) 281-6826 or by email at paula.mohr@iowa.gov. I look forward to working with you.

We have been given authorization from the National Park Service to use a rate of $17.22 for our volunteer wage rate rather than the federal minimum wage. This volunteer rate has been established by the Independent Sector, a leadership forum for charities, foundations, and corporate giving programs. Please use $17.22/hour for calculating the value of volunteer labor used as in-kind match on the budget page.
Also, to assist us with our reporting requirements with the National Park Service, we are asking that applicants provide a 100-word summary of their proposed projects. Survey and nomination projects also need to state an estimated number of resources to be surveyed as well as an estimated amount of acreage. For more information, please see the grant application.
