Natural resources grants with open deadlines

36 currently open · refreshed daily

Natural resources funding comes from Interior (Fish & Wildlife, National Park Service, BLM), USDA Forest Service, and NOAA. Land trusts, watershed councils, and conservation nonprofits apply directly for habitat restoration, invasive species work, and outdoor recreation access. Many programs here fund cooperative agreements with hands-on agency partnership. Match requirements are common but in-kind volunteer labor frequently counts — ask the program officer. All open listings below, refreshed daily.
