About wildlife grants

Wildlife grants support conservation, habitat restoration, and recovery efforts for fish, birds, mammals, and other species. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) are central funders, often working together on competitive programs, with additional support from NOAA and private foundations. Nonprofits, tribes, universities, and state and local agencies commonly apply.

Frequently Asked Questions

What grants are available for wildlife conservation?

Funding supports habitat restoration, species recovery, climate resilience, and community conservation partnerships on both public and private lands. The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation runs many competitive programs, including large efforts like the America the Beautiful Challenge, and federal agencies fund species- and region-specific work. Most programs emphasize measurable habitat or species outcomes and often require match.

Does the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service fund wildlife projects?

Yes. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service funds wildlife and habitat work directly and in partnership with the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, including joint grant rounds for watersheds like the Chesapeake Bay. Eligible applicants typically include states, tribes, nonprofits, and academic institutions undertaking high-priority restoration and conservation projects.

Who else funds wildlife nonprofits?

The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, the nation's largest private conservation grantmaker, channels public and private dollars to fish, wildlife, and plant projects. NOAA funds fisheries and marine species work, and many private, corporate, and community foundations support wildlife causes. State wildlife agencies also administer federal funds that reach local partners.
