Private individuals, for-profit organizations, and organizations that cannot be pre-qualified through the State of Illinois grantee portal (https://grants.illinois.gov/portal/) are not eligible to receive grant funds.

Public landowners and long-term lease holders are the only eligible applicants for on-the-ground projects such as low-cost construction or habitat restoration. For planning projects, we require a letter of commitment from the landowner if the applicant does not own the land.

This is a reimbursement grant. Full documentation of all grant and match expenses is required for reimbursement.
