North American Wetlands Conservation Act (NAWCA) Grants
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
The U.S. Standard Grants Program is a competitive, matching grants program that supports public-private partnerships carrying out projects in the United States that further the goals of the North American Wetlands Conservation Act (NAWCA). These projects must involve long-term protection, restoration, and/or enhancement of wetlands and associated uplands habitats for the benefit of all wetlands-associated migratory birds.
The USFWS strongly recommends that you contact the coordinator of the joint venture region in which your project is located (IWJV), early in the process for guidance on developing your project and proposal. Joint venture coordinators’ prioritization of NAWCA proposals from their geographic region is a key element in the selection process.
The grant cap is $250,000.
