Fund for Wild Nature Invites Applications for Grants Program
Deadline: November 2, 2007

The Fund for Wild Nature (<a href="http://www.fundwildnature.org/">http://www.fundwildnature.org/</a>) provides "small grants to small groups who get things done." The fund provides money for campaigns to save and restore native species and wild ecosystems, including actions to defend wilderness and biological diversity.

The fund supports advocacy, litigation, public policy work, development of citizen science, and similar endeavors. The fund does not support basic scientific research, private land acquisition, individual action or study, or conferences. The fund will only support media projects that have a clear strategic value and a concrete plan for dissemination of the final product.

The fund gives special attention to ecological issues not currently receiving sufficient public attention and funding. The fund seeks proposals with visionary and yet realistic goals to create tangible change. All proposals must be highly cost effective.

The fund rarely supports proposals from organizations with annual budgets greater than $250,000.

The fund makes grants for projects only in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
