How to Apply for the Landowner Incentive Program

See FAQ for project requirements and program priorities.

You may apply for LIP via this website during the annual RFP. Please refer to the Timeline section for upcoming dates. There are two steps in the application process: A pre-proposal letter of interest and full proposal. The pre-proposal letter includes basic information about your project idea and location and must be submitted in order to be considered for funding. If approved, you will be invited to submit a full proposal which will ask for budget information, project objectives, and evaluation criteria.

You may submit a letter of interest via the online form.

For both the pre-proposal letter and proposal, online submission is the preferred application method. If you do not own a computer, most town libraries provide computer resources. Otherwise, the LIP coordinator is able to facilitate other methods of submission including hard copy, but be sure to contact her ahead of the deadline to assure that that you receive a current version of the application and that the application is received before the submission deadline. Please refer to the LIP web page often as it is frequently updated with new information and further help for applicants.
