The Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife (FNPW) invites grant applications for the 2022 Community Conservation Grants Program to assist in the protection of the native species, habitats, landscapes and cultural heritage.
Grants are available for both field projects and education programs that have a direct outcome for nature conservation in Australia. All proposals are evaluated by FNPW’s Projects Committee based on funding priorities, funds available and quality and quantity of projects submitted.
