Opportunity Summary:
The Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) State and Local Assistance Program is a discretionary grant opportunity administered by the National Park Service (NPS) that supports outdoor recreation projects across the United States. The core purpose of the program is to help states, and local governments working through their state partners, acquire and develop land and water resources for public outdoor recreation. In practical terms, this program is aimed at expanding and improving parks, recreation areas, trails, and related outdoor facilities by providing federal funding that must be matched by the recipient, ensuring shared investment in projects that serve the public.
This opportunity was posted on July 30, 2013, under Funding Opportunity Number P13AS00169, with applications due by August 23, 2013, after internal review and clearance for final submission. The announcement was later archived on September 30, 2013. The NPS anticipated making around 80 awards under this cycle, with an estimated total funding amount of $25,000,000. Individual awards were expected to range from a minimum (floor) of $5,000 up to a maximum (ceiling) of $3,000,000, depending on the scope and nature of the proposed acquisition or development work.
Eligible applicants for the federal award are state governments. The program is structured so that funds flow from NPS to states, and then states can pass support through to local governments for eligible projects. The funding activity is categorized as “Outdoor recreation,” and it is listed under CFDA number 15.916, titled “Outdoor Recreation Acquisition, Development and Planning,” which signals that the program focuses on both purchasing or securing recreation lands and building or improving recreation infrastructure. A key requirement is cost sharing or matching, meaning the federal contribution must be paired with non-federal funds or eligible match sources, consistent with the program’s approach of leveraging federal dollars to generate broader investment in outdoor recreation.

For assistance, the contact provided is Elisabeth Morgan (Recreation Grants Programs Team Lead) at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 202-354-6916 or by email at ElisabethFondriest@nps.gov.
