Trail Stewardship Program 2025 application cycle now open

HELENA – Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks is accepting applications for the Trail Stewardship Grant Program from until Jan. 31. 

TSP grants can fund the development, renovation and maintenance of motorized and nonmotorized recreational trails and trailside facilities. This state-funded program will award approximately $2 million during the 2025 funding cycle. 

Applicants may request up to $100,000 with a 10 percent required match. Grant applicants may include tribal, state, county, municipal or federal agencies, school districts, and nonprofit recreational organizations and clubs. An organization can submit only one grant application per grant cycle. 

A webinar training session is posted to the Trail Stewardship Program webpage and is highly recommended for new and returning applicants. The training will provide helpful information on program requirements and tips on writing a competitive application and using the grant management software.
