FWP Announces LWCF Grant Deadline To Communities

Print

Since 1965, communities across Montana have received over $31 million for outdoor recreation projects in Land and Water Conservation fund grants. Last year the communities of Three Forks, Twin Bridges, Bozeman, Polson, Livingston and Choteau received LWCF grant funds.

We are pleased to announce that once again Cities, Towns, School Districts and Tribal governments are eligible to compete for $403,556 in Land & Water Conservation Fund grant money for outdoor recreation projects this year.

LWCF grants assist local communities with acquisition and development of public outdoor recreation areas and outdoor facilities. Grants may be used to provide up to 50 percent of project costs and must be matched with non-Federal funds. The deadline for submitting applications for this year’s grant program is June 30, 2001. For program details, see the FWP website (accessible from the Parks home page) or contact the Helena office.
