Grant Description
Grants to Alaska state, regional, and local governments to acquire and develop property for outdoor recreational areas. Funding is available for improved access to recreation areas, facility and trail upgrades, and the development of new trails and facilities. Funding is intended for a wide range of both local and state-wide activities.
Eligible project types are addressed in the Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP) 2023-2027. Please refer to the region where your proposed project would occur.
For funding priorities see the Supporting Documents field below to view the SCORP, "Regional Needs" and "Needs Prioritized" documents.
Typically, half the available funds are designated for eligible local projects, and the other half for state projects. If state project requests are insufficient, remaining funds may be used for additional local projects and vice versa.
State, regional or local governments, and federally recognized tribal governments, with the legal authority to provide park and recreation services on public lands are eligible to apply for LWCF assistance.
Pre-Application Information
Application Period: August 1 - October 31, 2023 (12:00 Noon Deadline)
- LWCF is a 1:1 matching and reimbursable grant program.
- Cash, in-kind labor, goods and services, as well as volunteer time and donations may count as match, as long as each is adequately documented. However, donated land or any other federal funding sources are rarely eligible as match.
- A community may put forward more than one proposal, and state their priority. Each project would need a separate application package, and each would compete independently against any other proposals we receive.
Additional Funding Information
Estimated Total Program Funding:
$1,000,000
Number of Grants
It depends on the number of applications received for eligible projects, as well as the amounts requested for each. In the past, as many as a dozen have been awarded statewide.

Term of Contract
If awarded an LWCF grant, the recipient/project sponsor agrees to dedicate and maintain the park or facility for public outdoor recreation in perpetuity, per the LWCF Act of 1965.
