Stewardship Is For Everyone
Getting Help and Stewardship Contacts
The Bureau of Community Financial Assistance administers most grant programs for the Department of Natural Resources. The Bureau provides both central office and regional support to Stewardship grant applicants.
These guidelines are designed to serve as your map through the Stewardship application process and should answer most of your initial questions regarding grants for acquisition of property. One DNR Community Services Specialist (CSS) in each of the five DNR regions works with NCOs, and is your primary contact for additional information. That person will walk you through the grant process from project conception to issuing the final check. Your CSS will also explain the requirements of the program, assist you in evaluating project alternatives, bring in other DNR staff as needed, and suggest other funding sources if your project does not qualify for a Stewardship grant.
The CSS will also determine which of the Stewardship subprograms is appropriate for your project. We recommend that you carefully review the program criteria, explained in Stewardship Programs and Priorities, but do not spend a great deal of time trying to determine which program is appropriate. Your CSS will do that for you. Their names are listed below. We encourage you to call your CSS early in the process of project selection and whenever you have a question.
