Description
Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s Wildlife Rehabilitation Grants support rehabilitation efforts across Colorado. The program addresses practical needs associated with caring for wildlife, including food for animals housed at rehabilitation facilities and medical expenses. It also supports the places where rehabilitation takes place, funding repairs or upgrades to existing facilities as well as new facilities.
Beyond animal care and infrastructure, eligible projects include public education and outreach, staff training, and other needs related to wildlife rehabilitation. This combination supports both day-to-day rehabilitation work and improvements to facilities and staff capabilities. Colorado Parks and Wildlife publishes grant award summaries and annual reports documenting the program’s support across the state.
