The National Spatial Data Infrastructure Cooperative Agreements Program (NSDI CAP) is an annual program sponsored by the FGDC to assist the geospatial data community through funding in implementing the components of the NSDI. The program is open to State, local and tribal governments, academia, commercial, and non-profit organizations and provides small seed grants to initiate sustainable on-going NSDI implementations. The program emphasizes partnerships, collaboration and the leveraging of geospatial resources in achieving its goals. Since the funding level is limited, organizations must compete to be awarded funds.
