Frequently asked questions
You can apply if you are a nonprofit that helps wildlife grants, protects nature, saves endangered animals, or restores habitats. Wildlife grants are also for groups that do scientific research, teach others, or speak up for plants and animals.
Based on Instrumentl’s live grant database for wildlife grants, grant deadlines are most common in Q3, accounting for 35.6% of all submission dates. The slowest period for new grant opportunities in this category falls in Q2, making it a less competitive time for preparation and strategic planning.
Wildlife grants help keep animals and their homes safe. They support work to protect nature and fix problems like lost habitats, illegal hunting, and climate change. The goal is to make sure animals have a safe place to live for many years.
On average, grants helping wildlife provide funding between $250 and $525,000, with typical awards falling around $33,750 (median) and $109,871 (average). These insights can help nonprofits align their funding requests with what grantmakers typically offer in this space.
Major funders of conservation and wildlife grants include federal agencies such as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and private foundations like the National Wildlife Federation.
State and local governments also provide funding through environmental programs and conservation initiatives. Private organizations like National Geographic and Patagonia support wildlife preservation, research, and sustainability efforts also provide Wildlife Grants.
To improve grant success, nonprofits should:
- Align with funder priorities – Tailor proposals to match the conservation priorities
- Use measurable outcomes – Provide data-driven results to demonstrate past impact and expected future success.
- Build strategic partnerships – Collaborate with organizations that protect the environment, and show community involvement.
