Battlefield Land Acquisition Grants – Ongoing

National Park Service Battlefield Land Acquisition Grants (BLAG) enable state and local governments to permanently protect historic battlefield lands through fee simple acquisition or through the purchase of an interest in the land through a preservation covenant. ABPP administers Battlefield Land Acquisition Grants using funds appropriated from the Land and Water Conservation Fund. 

BLAG applications are accepted on a rolling basis. The notice of funding opportunity and application materials are available at Grants.gov.

Eligibility

• Lands must be outside the boundaries of any National Park Service legislative boundary.

Please contact the BLAG team if you have questions or need additional information about eligibility.
