Overview
The Cedar Valley Trails Partnership offers annual Mini-Grants aimed at enhancing the Cedar Valley trail system. These grants support projects that expand, improve, and maintain the trails, promoting safety and utility. Eligible projects include educational initiatives for trail users and those that contribute to tourism. With no application deadline, the grants encourage year-round submissions, ensuring ongoing support for the local community's recreational needs.
The Cedar Valley Trails Partnership awards grants to projects committed to Partnership goals of expansion and improvement of the Cedar Valley trail system. Grants are awarded annually based on available funds.
In 1999, with funds generated from the festival and memberships, the CVTP made its first grants for trail improvements. A second round of grants was made in 2003, and the grant program became an annual affair.
To date, tens of thousands of dollars have made possible many important maintenance, construction, and trail enhancements.
