Land and Water Conservation Fund

The Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) is a Federal program that provides matching grants for the acquisition or development of outdoor recreation areas and facilities. This is a reimbursable grant program requiring a 50% match. Only state agencies and local governments may apply.

South Carolina has invested more than $67 million of Land & Water Conservation Funds in approximately 1,200 land acquisition and recreation facilities projects since the program began in 1965. The LWCF program has always required that any property acquired or developed with its funds be maintained in perpetuity as an active and viable outdoor recreation venue.

As in previous years, revitalizing existing LWCF properties will remain a topline priority; however, the 2026 round will also be open to new park projects, especially those that address capacity issues. For a new project to qualify for funding, the local government will have to prove, during an on-site inspection, that all of their existing LWCF properties are in good shape and are being used appropriately. If there are issues with any LWCF properties, we will request that you apply instead for LWCF to correct those problems.

New Mexico Community Foundation

For over 40 years, New Mexico Foundation (NMF) has worked to improve the quality of life for all residents of New Mexico.

NMF has distinguished itself as a leader in philanthropy. Our progressive, grassroots approach to building stronger communities empowers community members to collaborate on critical issues by tapping into local resources and discovering the strength in themselves.

In 2019 we changed our name to better define our purpose and identity as the only community foundation serving the state of New Mexico.

Traditional Arts Apprenticeship Program

Initiative created to sustain the state’s diverse folklife traditions and support its traditional artists.

The program cycle is one year; project proposals must be designed and described by the artists in an application.

A master artist is someone recognized by other artists, community members, and cultural leaders as exceptionally skilled and devoted to perpetuating a traditional art form. Master artists who apply should demonstrate expertise and excellence, teaching ability, and extensive cultural knowledge of the art form. An apprentice, who is selected by and applies with the master artist, should be a talented student who desires to deepen her or his skills in a traditional art form. A strong apprentice should not be a complete beginner. He or she should demonstrate enough experience and/or skill to benefit from this opportunity.

In Tennessee, folklife traditions encompass older cultural practices that have been here for decades and centuries, as well as arts and customs brought or developed here more recently. Folklife includes traditional music, visual art, crafts, dance, foodways, calendar and life-cycle customs, and occupational skills. Traditional art forms are those learned and passed informally by imitation, word of mouth, performance, or observation in communities that share cultural identity. The strongest applications involve a master artist and apprentice who are members of the same ethnic, racial, tribal, regional, occupational, or religious group. Master artists and apprentices can be family members.

This is a competitive, panel-reviewed grant category. Only some applications will be funded. Ineligible art forms and activities include historical recreations, the work of professional teachers or contemporary studio craft artists, and revivals of traditions from outside of the originating cultural community. Applicants must be citizens or legal residents of the United States. The master artist is preferred to be from Tennessee. The apprentice must be a Tennessee resident.
