NAWCA Standard Grants

The North American Wetlands Conservation Act of 1989 provides matching grants to organizations and individuals who have developed partnerships to carry out wetlands conservation projects in the United States, Canada, and Mexico for the benefit of wetlands-associated migratory birds and other wildlife. The Standard Grants Program supports projects that involve long-term protection, restoration, and/or enhancement of wetlands and associated uplands habitats. The maximum grant award is $1 million. Applicants within the PLJV region are strongly encouraged to review the PLJV Standard Grant Timeline at least one year in advance of developing a proposal. For 2008, proposal submission deadlines are March 7 and Aug. 1.
