NFWF Conservation Partners Program
National Fish and Wildlife Foundation
The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) manages the Conservation Partners Program in partnership with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and General Mills. The program awards competitive grants that accelerate the adoption of regenerative agriculture principles and conservation practices on private working lands in priority geographic areas. Grant recipients provide technical assistance to farmers and ranchers to help them develop management plans, design and implement best practices, participate in Farm Bill programs, and share their experiences and lessons learned. This work enhances wildlife habitat, soil health, water conservation and quality, and carbon storage while providing important social and economic benefits to agricultural producers. Approximately $6.7 million in grant funding is available under this funding opportunity.
This funding opportunity will provide grant funding for projects that align geographically with the following program priority categories:
- Prairie Pothole Region
- Upper Mississippi River Basin
- Southern Great Plains
- Pacific Salmon and Western Water
- Working Lands for Wildlife
