Rapides Foundation Re-Opens Walking Trail Mini-Grant Program
Rapides Foundation Re-Opens Walking Trail Mini-Grant Program
As part of its mission to improve community health, the Rapides Foundation
funded twenty-seven walking trails from 1999-2004 throughout
the foundation's Central Louisiana service area. The
foundation has re-opened the program and is currently
seeking to fund additional trails.
The program is designed to promote regular exercise through
the creation of publicly accessible walking trails in both
urban and rural settings.
The Walking Trails Mini-Grant Program provides support for
short-term projects that require no more than $10,000 in
funding support. Each award will be made for a year or less.
The foundation will award grants to nonprofit organizations
that are able to meet the following criteria: the land will
be used for the purpose of a walking trail for a period of
at least ten years and will be accessible to the general
public; the organization is able to demonstrate community
support through in-kind donations and sponsorship of
programs and events to be held at the trail; the
organization can verify matching cash funds of 50 percent
of the requested grant funds; and the organization has a
long-term maintenance plan to ensure that the trail remains
in proper condition for use.

program guidelines.
