The Fund for Wild Nature is seeking applications for its grant program that provides small grants for North American campaigns to save native species and wild ecosystems, with particular emphasis on actions designed to defend threatened wilderness and biological diversity.
Fund for Wild Nature support biocentric goals that are premised on effective and intelligible strategies. They give special attention to ecological issues not currently receiving sufficient public attention and funding. They seek proposals with visionary and yet realistic goals to create tangible change. All proposals must be highly cost effective.
Activities
- Examples of activities they fund include
- advocacy,
- litigation,
- public policy work, and similar endeavors.
Eligibility Criteria
- Is your organization or fiscal sponsor a 501c3 charity?
- Is your annual budget $250,000 or less?
- Will your proposed project protect wildlife or wildlife habitat?
- Is your request $3,000 or less?
- Is your project within the U.S.A., Canada, or their federally recognized territories?
- They do NOT fund basic scientific research, private land acquisition, for-profit enterprises, individual action or study, conferences, or organizations which receive government funding or support.
- Although they commend the work of wildlife sanctuaries, wildlife rehabilitation facilities, botanical gardens, zoos, learning centers, and habitat restoration, these are beyond the scope of their mission and for that reason they do not fund this type of work.
- They will only fund media projects that have a clear, significant strategic value to biodiversity and a concrete plan for dissemination of the final product. They strongly recommend reading about their grantees’ work to find parallels, if any, with your work.
