A new online grants content management system was implemented
for the Land and Water Conservation Fund and Recreational Trails
Program in 2020, creating an efficient mechanism to organize the entire
process of each grant opportunity. The agency piloted the system for
the Land and Water Conservation Fund grant program during the 2020
application cycle. The content management system has reduced staff's
time in searching and tracking grant activities and has moved to a
paperless grant system. The system guides applicants through each
step of the application and does not allow them to submit an application
without filling in all required fields. The content management system
provides the agency the ability to have quick and constant feedback
with the applicant through the grant process. It also provides the agency
the ability to tie all of the grant information to GIS mapping layers
to have better records and visual representation of where grants are
located.
