National Wildlife Refuge Friends Group Grant Program Invites Applications
Deadline: September 24, 2010
The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and its program partner organizations seek proposals for projects that assist organizations to be effective co-stewards of the United States’ natural resources within the National Wildlife Refuge System.
Grants will be provided to assist starting refuge Friends organizations, to strengthen the capacity of existing refuge Friends organizations, and to fund specific projects. In addition, this year’s program will prioritize those proposals that initiate or improve birding opportunities for refuge visitors. Competitive proposals will specify particular benefits to refuge birders and visitors who enjoy birds.
The grant program provides competitive seed grants of $1,500 to $5,000 for creative and innovative proposals that seek to increase the number and effectiveness of organizations interested in assisting the Refuge System.
Eligible applicants are nonprofit organizations or organizations that have applied for nonprofit 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. Applicants must be nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations, or be in the process of applying for 501(c)(3) status.
The application kit is available at the NFWF Web site.
