Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00008
The Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) State and Local Assistance Program is a discretionary grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior through the National Park Service (NPS). Its central purpose is to support outdoor recreation by providing matching funds to states, and then, through the states, to local governments for projects that acquire land and water resources or develop recreation facilities. In practice, this program helps expand and improve public access to parks and outdoor spaces by assisting with purchases of recreation lands and waters, as well as the construction or enhancement of recreation amenities intended for public use.
This particular opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00008 and is tied to CFDA number 15.916. The program is structured so that the direct eligible applicants at the federal level are state governments, which typically run the competitive selection process within their own boundaries and may pass funds along to cities, counties, park districts, or other local entities according to state priorities and NPS requirements. Because it is a matching grant program, applicants should expect to provide non-federal cost share as part of the project financing, a key feature designed to leverage federal dollars with state and local investment in recreation resources.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted with a creation date of February 26, 2019, and an original closing date of April 30, 2019. A notable submission condition is that applications needed to be reviewed and cleared by the National Park Service before final submission for award processing, indicating an added layer of federal review or coordination beyond simply meeting a deadline. The maximum anticipated award amount (award ceiling) was listed as $2,500,000, and the opportunity anticipated making approximately 175 awards, suggesting a relatively broad national distribution of grants across multiple states and project types.
Overall, the LWCF State and Local Assistance Program functions as a major federal investment mechanism for conserving and enhancing recreation opportunities by helping states and their local partners acquire important recreation lands and waters and develop the outdoor recreation infrastructure that supports public enjoyment and long-term community benefits.Apply for P19AS00008
