Project ideas sought now for 2015




The Legislative-Citizen Commission on Minnesota Resources (LCCMR) has issued its 2015 Request for Proposal (RFP) for funding from Minnesota’s Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund beginning July 1, 2015.

Approximately $44 million is expected to be available for projects being sought that provide multiple ecological and other public benefits.

Anyone with a project idea consistent with the RFP may submit a proposal for consideration by the LCCMR. LCCMR staff are available to assist proposers, answer questions, or review and provide feedback on drafts of proposals.

Proposers are encouraged to submit proposal drafts to help ensure proposals are focused, clear, and contain all necessary information. Drafts must be received by March 21, 2014 to allow adequate time for staff to review.

During Summer 2014, the LCCMR will be considering all proposals received in response to the 2015 RFP and selecting projects to recommend to the 2015 Minnesota Legislature. Project funding does not become available until July 1, 2015.
