America the Beautiful Challenge Grant
National Fish and Wildlife Foundation
The America the Beautiful Challenge (ATBC) is a new public-private grant program that will fund conservation projects across the nation. Intended to streamline grant funding opportunities for new voluntary conservation and restoration projects around the United States, ATBC consolidates funding from multiple federal agencies and the private sector to enable applicants to conceive and develop large-scale projects that address shared funder priorities and span public and private lands. The ATBC will seek to advance conservation and restoration projects that focus on at least one of the following core focal areas:
• Conserving and restoring rivers, coasts, wetlands and watersheds
• Conserving and restoring forests, grasslands and other important ecosystems that
serve as carbon sinks
• Connecting and reconnecting wildlife corridors, large landscapes, watersheds and
seascapes
• Improving ecosystem and community resilience to coastal flooding, drought and
other climate-related threats
• Expanding access to the outdoors, particularly in underserved communities
