Wildlife Forever Challenge Grants are due January 1, 2009

Grants from Wildlife Forever are targeted for habitat restoration and acquisition, research and management, and educational projects. Special emphasis is placed upon grassroots programs that involve local conservation, sportsmen's or outdoor recreation groups. Wildlife Forever grants are challenge grants, and funds must be matched on at least a one-to-one basis from a third-party donor and sent through Wildlife Forever.

Wildlife Forever Challenge Grants are open to all North American wildlife projects by nonprofit conservation organizations and government agencies.

The grant maximum is $2,500 per project. Friends' Challenge Grants are part of a fund designed to help conservation projects on National Wildlife Refuges. "Friends Groups" of specific Refuges are encouraged to apply. The grant maximum is $2,500 per project. Application
