The DLNR Legacy Land Conservation Program (LLCP) is inviting grant applications from state and county agencies and nonprofit land conservation organizations for fiscal year 2026.
Approximately $6.7 million in grant funds is expected to be available for award.
Grants are awarded through a competitive process that includes consultation with state agencies and legislators, investigations and recommendations from DLNR’s Legacy Land Conservation Commission and approvals from the Board of Land and Natural Resources and the Governor.
Since 2006, the LLCP has facilitated contributions of over $65 million from the State Land Conservation Fund to help conserve 32,000+ acres on more than 50 properties that protect Hawaiʻi’s resources for the benefit of present and future generations.
