Description
The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) uses its National Conservation Initiatives to direct public and private funding toward urgent conservation needs across the United States. Through competitive grantmaking, the initiatives support partners restoring fish and wildlife habitat, advancing species recovery, strengthening community stewardship, and delivering landscape-scale conservation outcomes.
The initiatives address connected challenges including habitat fragmentation, degraded watersheds, declining species populations, invasive species, wildfire risk, and limited local stewardship capacity. They support work in communities, forests, watersheds, working lands, and other important landscapes. Some offer recurring opportunities; others are time-limited responses to specific needs.
