A project partner can be an individual or someone that officially represents a company, organization, or community who will individually or through the organization they represent, be providing direct support or value to your project. The support they provide should be of value (providing tangible support or adding value) to the project. Support can range from direct consulting and community advocacy to providing services, supplies, material, labor, etc. that is needed to manage, coordinate, design, develop, or implement your project.
Your project partner's commitment (or support) letter must identify their involvement and state their commitment to the project (identify what they will be doing or providing). The partner must also identify their qualifications as they directly relate to their involvement in the project. Partner letters must be signed by an authorized representative of the partner entity.
If you are relying on a project partner (or multiple partners) to meet the federal match waiver, this project partner(s) must be a full partner in the project and they must officially represent the disadvantaged community(s) your project will be benefiting and working in. Their commitment letter must be clear in identifying their capacity to officially represent the disadvantaged community(s).
You may include support letters from government officials (i.e. a Mayor or State Forester) and other organization leaders who are dedicated to supporting or advocating for your proposal as it relates to their area of oversight or management. An example might be a support letter from a city Mayor or city/county manager stating their approval or strong desire and community need for the implementation of your proposal.
A recommendation from an individual or organization -or- a potential project supporter is not a committed project partner and should NOT be included in your application as a Project Partner.
Do NOT include resumes from Project Partners in your online application.
