Opportunity Information: Apply for P24AS00526
The Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) State Assistance + Readiness and Recreation Initiative (RRI) - FY24 grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P24AS00526) is a discretionary grant program administered by the National Park Service (CFDA 15.916) that provides LWCF state assistance funding for outdoor recreation and conservation projects. The program is structured so that each state or territory participates through a single, designated LWCF State Lead Agency. Under 54 U.S.C. 200305(a), only that State Lead Agency (as designated by the Governor or established in state law) is allowed to apply for and receive LWCF grant awards. This is a strict eligibility rule: applications submitted by any entity other than the State Lead Agency are rejected without being reviewed.
While only the State Lead Agency can submit an application, the Lead Agency may apply either for its own projects or on behalf of eligible subrecipients (often called project sponsors). Eligible subrecipients are limited to public-sector entities: state agencies and local units of government, including political subdivisions such as cities and counties, and special purpose districts such as park districts. The opportunity explicitly excludes individuals, nonprofit organizations, and other private entities from participating either as applicants or as subrecipients, meaning private or charitable organizations cannot be the direct project sponsor under this announcement.
The notice also clarifies an important constraint involving federally recognized Indian Tribes and cost sharing. Although Tribes are generally eligible for LWCF grants, they are not eligible to receive funds under 10 U.S.C. 2684a. As a result, funds from the Readiness and Environmental Protection Integration (REPI) program cannot be used to meet the non-federal cost share requirement for projects proposed to occur on tribal land. In practical terms, this affects how matching funds can be assembled for projects associated with tribal lands, especially where REPI might otherwise be considered as a match source.
Key administrative details include an original application closing date of July 12, 2024, and an award ceiling of $5,000,000. The eligible applicant category is limited to state governments (through the LWCF State Lead Agency), and the funding instrument is a grant. Overall, the opportunity is designed to funnel LWCF state assistance and RRI-related recreation investments through state-level administration, with local government partners able to participate only through sponsorship and submission by the designated State Lead Agency.Apply for P24AS00526
