Eligible applicants are cities, counties, metropolitan service districts, park and recreation districts, port districts, federally recognized tribal governments and certain Oregon state agencies.

An optional webinar is scheduled 10 a.m. to noon Friday, Sept. 11 to provide information on the program and how to navigate the application process. Register for the live workshop. A recording of the webinar will be posted on the LWCF web page shortly after.
