Communty Matching Fund Application

The Department of Recreation, Parks and Cultural Activities (RPCA) established the Community Matching Fund (Fund) in 2016. The Fund promotes collaborative partnerships among City of Alexandria community organizations by providing matching 1:1 dollars for groups that propose fundraising for park and recreation improvement projects. The Fund fosters public/private partnerships and cultivates innovative ways for residents to have a greater stake in improving the park and recreation facilities that they use. These partnerships will also provide opportunities for developing positive relationships between the City and the community.

Beginning July 1, 2017 there will be a total of $100,000 in City matching funds. RPCA will give 1:1 matching award in an amount up to $25,000, which allows a minimum of four selected proposals. Awards may vary given in any amount between $5,000 (for project totals of $10,000) to $25,000 (for project totals for $50,000).

RPCA will accept proposals until April 10. To submit a proposal, fill out the application below. Before applying, please review all of the qualifications on the fund website here. We suggest writing your essay responses in another application and then cutting and pasting the text into the application to ensure editing capabilities.

If you have immediate questions, please contact Dana Wedeles, Park Planner, at dana.wedeles@alexandriava.gov.
