Grant and Funding Programs Offered by Fund for Wild Nature

Fund for Wild Nature is a focused environmental funder that provides small grants for North American campaigns to save native species and wild ecosystems. It supports advocacy, litigation, public policy work and similar efforts that defend threatened wilderness and biological diversity, with particular attention to issues that do not receive enough mainstream funding. In the funding ecosystem, the fund fills a distinctive role by backing grassroots campaigns that are strategic, cost effective and often outside the scope of larger conservation funders. Its May and October deadlines create a predictable rhythm for applicants, while its eligibility quiz and proposal process help groups assess fit before investing time in a full application. The result is targeted support for urgent biodiversity work that can otherwise struggle to find flexible dollars.
