RCO Needs Your Help to Score Local Parks Maintenance Grant Projects!
The Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office is looking for grant evaluators with a background in local park development or maintenance to score Local Parks Maintenance Grant
applications.
What evaluators do: Read and score simple grant applications to help decide how this one-time funding pool is allocated.
When: Late September – October 2023
How: Remotely, through a written process. Review and score applications from anywhere, whenever works for you (during the evaluation period).
The program: The Local Parks Maintenance Grant <https://rco.wa.gov/grant/local-parks-maintenance-grants/> is a new program that focuses on deferred maintenance. The program emphasizes
helping communities in need address maintenance backlogs for key local parks facilities and capital improvements. Applications will be for general maintenance for things like trails,
restrooms, picnic sites, playgrounds, signs, and kiosks.
Stipends are available to grant evaluators who are not otherwise compensated for their participation.
If you’re interested, please apply here: Volunteer Advisory Committees - Recreation and Conservation Office (wa.gov) <https://rco.wa.gov/get-involved/volunteer-advisory-committee/> .

Grant evaluators are critical in RCO getting funding to needed projects. Thank you for considering participating!
