Land and Water Conservation Fund | U.S. Department of the Interior Countdown to America's 250th Anniversary : July 4th 2026 Land and Water Conservation Fund Land and Water Conservation Fund The Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) was established by Congress in 1964 to fulfill a bipartisan commitment to safeguard natural areas, water resources and cultural heritage, and to provide recreation opportunities to all Americans.
The fund helps strengthen communities, preserve history and protect the national endowment of lands and waters. Since its inception in 1965, the LWCF State and Local Assistance Program has funded more than 46,000 projects in every county in the country. On August 4, 2020, the Great American Outdoors Act (GAOA) was signed into law, authorizing $900 million annually in permanent funding for LWCF.
Prior to the passage of GAOA, funding for LWCF relied on annual congressional appropriations. At no cost to taxpayers, the LWCF supports increased public access to and protection for federal public lands and waters — including national parks, forests, wildlife refuges and recreation areas — and provides matching grants to state governments for the acquisition and development of public parks and other outdoor recreation sites.
Agencies also partner with landowners to support voluntary conservation activities on private lands. Some of the funds are distributed directly to states and local communities through grant programs. Tribes can work with states through the grant programs to secure LWCF funding for recreation and conservation projects.
These grants can be used for a range of projects from establishing baseball fields and community green spaces; to providing public access to rivers, lakes and other water resources; to protecting historic and cultural sites; and conserving natural landscapes.

The May 29 OMB rewrite of 2 CFR Part 200 quietly rebuilds the pass-through entity compliance architecture. Proposed §200.332 strengthens subrecipient risk assessment, monitoring documentation, and remediation triggers. A new requirement mandates that every subaward be reported to SAM.gov with the reported records confirmed in performance reports — converting subaward administration from a back-office accounting function into a public-record certification regime. For the universities, state agencies, and national nonprofits that pass through more than half of their federal awards as subawards, the operational implication is a new compliance operating model that needs to be standing up by the October 1 effective date.
Read articleBuried in the May 29 OMB rewrite of 2 CFR Part 200 is the elimination of fixed-amount awards as a default grant instrument. Cost-reimbursement reverts to the standard. Here is what the change costs community-based nonprofits, pass-through subaward portfolios, SBIR Phase II direct-to-award structures, and the grant offices that have built workflows around milestone payments — and the comment-and-renegotiation strategy that has six weeks to land before July 13.
