National Fish and Wildlife Foundation

The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) is a congressionally chartered nonprofit that protects and restores the nation fish, wildlife, plants, and habitats. It works by bringing together public funding and private contributions to support conservation across the United States.

NFWF awards grants through a range of programs that target specific species, habitats, and regions, from coastal and marine ecosystems to grasslands, forests, and watersheds. Its funding often pairs federal dollars with corporate and foundation partnerships to maximize conservation impact.

Grants go to nonprofit organizations, government agencies, tribes, and educational institutions through competitive programs, with eligibility and matching requirements defined per opportunity. Conservation organizations can find current NFWF opportunities and deadlines on Atom.
