Deadline: 15 January 2025
The Montana Audubon is accepting applications for Wildlife Fund Grants to support research or other activities that focus on the conservation, enhancement and public appreciation of Montana’s wildlife and natural communities.
For more than 25 years, Montana Audubon has awarded grants to organizations in support of research and education projects directed toward wildlife habitat conservation. Funds are awarded from earnings generated by the Audubon Wildlife Fund of Montana, a permanent endowment.
Funding Information
- Because of limited resources, successful grants are generally less than $500.
- Eligible uses of grant funds include: mileage, supplies, equipment for schools or nonprofit organizations, printing, and communications. Ineligible uses include: salaries, stipends, per diem, and personal equipment.
Eligibility Criteria
- Grants will be awarded to individuals or nonprofit organizations whose project directly benefits wildlife in Montana.
- Preference will be given to projects involving nongame wildlife, from birds to invertebrates, and their habitats. They encourage proposals that emphasize the significance of the proposed project in regard to its research, educational, and/or recreational value. Preference will be given to small nonprofit organizations, research projects, and graduate students.
- Each proposal should include a letter of reference regarding your ability to accomplish the project.
- Review and scoring of all proposals will be performed by a committee appointed by the Montana Audubon Board of Directors. Grant recipients will be required to submit a brief project report on project status and use of funds to Montana Audubon by October 1, 2025.
