Northern Great Plains
National Fish and Wildlife Foundation
The goal of the Northern Great Plains program is to maintain and/or improve interconnected grasslands in focal areas to sustain healthy populations of grassland-obligate species while fostering sustainable livelihoods and preserving cultural identities including tribal cultures and food sovereignty. The following are the Northern Great Plains focal areas; Dakota Grasslands, Missouri-Milk River Grasslands, Nebraska Sandhills, and the Powder River-Thunder Basin Grasslands.
Project Metrics include instream restoration (LTPBR structures), land restoration, riparian restoration, BMP implementation for fencing improvements, and more.
Eligible applicants: non-profit 501(c) organizations, U.S. Federal government agencies, state government agencies, local governments, municipal governments, Tribal agencies, and educational institutions.
Funding Availability: The Northern Great Plains program will award approximately $22 million in grants this cycle to 20-25 grants. Grants may be up to three years in length. Matching contributions (non-federal and federal) are encouraged to demonstrate broad support for the project and overall impact of the work. The ratio of matching contributions offered to grant funding requested is one criterion considered during the review process.
