The 2027 Multistate Conservation Grant Program provides funding for projects that help restore and conserve wildlife and sport fish. It also supports efforts to recruit, retain, and reactivate hunters and anglers. This grant is aimed at projects that are too large for a single state to handle alone and are of regional or national importance. The funds can be used for research, restoration, education, and public engagement related to wildlife and sport fish.
Who it's for: This grant is for state fish and wildlife agencies, their partners, and other eligible organizations that work on wildlife restoration and sport fish restoration projects. Eligible applicants include Native American tribal organizations, nonprofits (with or without 501(c)(3) status), public and state institutions of higher education, and state governments.
