About plant grants

Plant grants support native plant conservation, restoration, botanical research, pollinator habitat, and related stewardship. The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) funds plant and habitat work as part of its conservation mission, and federal agencies including USDA/NRCS and the U.S. Forest Service support native plant and restoration efforts. Nonprofits, botanical gardens, tribes, universities, and agencies commonly apply.

A long list is the starting point, not the shortlist. Our grant prospecting guide shows how to narrow plant grants down to the funders most likely to say yes, using their giving records.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much money do plant grants award?

What grants are available for plant conservation?

Funding supports native plant restoration, rare and endangered plant recovery, pollinator and habitat plantings, seed collection, and botanical research and education. The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation funds projects benefiting plants and their habitats, and USDA and Forest Service programs support native plant and restoration work. Many programs fold plant work into broader habitat or conservation grants.

Who funds native plant and botanical projects?

The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, the nation's largest private conservation grantmaker, funds work that sustains and restores native plants and their habitats. Federal partners include USDA/NRCS and the U.S. Forest Service, and private and community foundations, garden clubs, and botanical organizations also support plant conservation. State natural resource agencies sometimes offer native plant and pollinator funding.

How can a nonprofit fund a native plant or pollinator project?

Frame the project around clear conservation outcomes, such as habitat acres restored or species supported, and look for habitat, pollinator, and restoration grants rather than searching only for the word "plants." Federal habitat programs and the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation are good starting points, supplemented by regional foundations and garden organizations. Partnering with a land manager or agency can strengthen competitiveness.
