Partnership Match Program

The Partnership Match Program is designed to help established friends groups and other qualified organizations leverage fundraising projects with matching funds to enhance Michigan state parks and recreation areas. State park friends groups are nonprofit organizations that support state parks through fundraising, volunteer recruitment, restoration projects, and educational programming. Eligible projects include enhancements such as site furnishings, monetary gifts, and the design or construction of park facilities. Applicants must submit the Partnership Match Program Application along with required guidelines and Gift and Acceptance Agreements for monetary gifts, furnishings, or design and construction of facilities to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.
