The State of Hawai‘i dedicates a portion of its annual revenue from real estate conveyance taxes to the Land Conservation Fund. Each year the State Legislature provides the Legacy Land Conservation Program with some of the money held in the Fund. The Legacy Land Conservation Program distributes this money through a competitive grants process for purchasing land and conservation easements that protect the following resources:
- Agricultural
- Habitat
- Parks
- Coastal
- Natural areas
- Recreation/Hunting
- Cultural/Historic
- Open space/Scenic
- Watershed
Eligibility Criteria
State agencies, counties, and nonprofit land conservation organizations may apply for grants from the Land Conservation Fund. County and nonprofit awardees must provide matching funds that cover at least 25% of total transaction costs.
