Coastal Management Program Grantee Information

Congratulations on your IDNR Coastal Management Program grant! We see great potential in your project and are pleased to provide funding to support your work.  

This Grantee Information webpage includes a downloadable manual for grantees, grant reporting and reimbursement forms, and other important information and documents. We strongly recommend reviewing the manual in its entirety as soon as you receive a signed grant agreement. It includes direct links to the forms and resources here. 

While it is your responsibility to know and follow these procedures, our Coastal Management Program staff are always available to answer questions and provide clarity. Please contact us as often as necessary.

​Manual for Grantees

Logos

Grantees must acknowledge IDNR, the Coastal Management Program, and our Federal funding source (most often National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration) on all printed and online project materials. Please see the manual for grantees for specific logo use requirements.
