Weekly Grant Round-Up
The Biodiversity Conservation Grant was created by the National Environmental Education Foundation (NEEF) with major support from Toyota Motor North America to support shovel-ready pollinator habitat enhancement projects on America’s public lands. Habitat enhancement projects should directly support the creation, restoration, remediation, improvement, and/or protection of habitats for important pollinator species such as butterflies, bees, bats, and more. The project should directly impact pollinators on at least 500 acres of public land. Collaboration and partnerships to meet the minimum acreage requirement are encouraged. Additionally, projects should incorporate community outreach and engagement activities designed to educate and empower the public to help enhance pollinator habitats.
Non-profits, educational institutions, and government entities are welcome to apply for this $50,000-$75,000 opportunity. Letters of Interest are due March 1.
