Department of Conservation and Recreation
The Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) receives and reviews requests from various partners for letters of support or grant match for proposals being submitted to other organizations who are providing grant funding. While DCR does not provide a cash match it can offer letters of support or in-kind match of state funds from the Virginia Agricultural Cost-Share (VACS) Program. These letters of support and, pending availability, in-kind match may be approved for grant proposals that include improvement of water quality through reductions in pollution from nonpoint sources. The DCR Division of Soil and Water Conservation (DSWC) reviews and prioritizes match requests ensuring that the approved match funding from VACS is not overcommitted in any given fiscal year.
To request letters of support or in-kind match from VACS program funds the DCR request form must be completed. This form must be submitted at least twenty-one days before the letter of support or the letter of commitment of in-kind match from DCR is needed.
More details about the request process can be found in the “Requesting the Use of Virginia Agricultural Cost Share for Grant Match” document.
