Applications Invited for National Wildlife Refuge Friends Group Grant Program
Deadline: April 29, 2011 and September 2, 2011
The National Wildlife Refuge Friends Group Grant Program provides grants to nonprofits working to assist the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s National Wildlife Refuge System by acting as effective co-stewards of the nation’s important natural resources within the system. The program, which is administered by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, provides competitive seed grants between $1,500 and $5,000 for start-up, capacity-building, and project-specific purposes.
In addition, this year’s program will also prioritize proposals to initiate or improve birding opportunities for refuge visitors. Competitive proposals will specify particular benefits to refuge birders and visitors who enjoy birds.
Eligible applicants are nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations or organizations that have applied for nonprofit 501(c)(3) status, including refuge Friends organizations, cooperative and interpretive associations, Audubon chapters, and other citizen support organizations interested in assisting a National Wildlife Refuge or group of refuges and the Refuge System as a whole.
Visit the NFWF Web site for complete program guidelines, application procedures, and examples of eligible activities.
