## Who can apply

- State governments

In accordance with 54 U.S.C. 200305(a), each state and territory has a lead agency designated by the Governor or by state legislation for the purposes of implementing LWCF in that state, and only the lead agency can be the applicant for an LWCF grant. The lead agency may submit on behalf of themselves or another eligible subrecipient. Applications submitted directly by entities other than the State Lead Agency will be eliminated without consideration. Individuals, nonprofit organizations, and other private entities are not eligible as applicants or subrecipients. Eligible subrecipients (aka project sponsors) include state agencies and local units of government (e.g., state political subdivisions such as cities, counties, and special purpose districts such as park districts). Although Federally-recognized Indian Tribes are eligible for LWCF grants, they are not eligible to receive funds under 10 U.S.C 2684a, therefore REPI program funds could not be used to satisfy the non-federal cost share requirements for projects proposed to occur on tribal land.
