The Land and Water Conservation Fund provides matching grants for acquisition or development of outdoor recreation areas and facilities. It prioritizes revitalizing existing LWCF properties and allows new park projects addressing capacity issues. Applicants must demonstrate good condition of existing LWCF properties and meet eligibility requirements including ownership and compliance. Grants range from $50,000 to $1,000,000 with a 50% match required.
Only state agencies and local governments without open LWCF grants or unresolved LWCF issues are eligible. Applicants must own the property outright and meet compliance requirements with no outstanding issues.
