PWF Conservation Grants program
Made possible because of the generous contributions from the Jordan Foundation, the Glatfelter Foundation and other Estate Donations.
Conservation Grants program
Grant Objectives
The objective of the PWF Conservation Grant Fund is to provide funding support for conservation activities in Pennsylvania that fit within the mission of the Pennsylvania Wildlife Federation and the Pennsylvania Federation of Sportsmen & Conservationists. The program will fund projects that contribute significantly to the preservation and sustainable use of our natural resources.
Eligibility
Applicants must show proof of non-profit status and provide a completed W-9. Applicants must be a member of PWF or PFSC. (Membership application/dues may be submitted with a grant application.)
Grant Limits
While grant amounts vary greatly, most range from $200 to $2,000 and are intended to function as complementary support. We strongly encourage applicants to seek additional, concurrent funding from other funding sources and provide details when submitting a grant request.
Grant Restrictions
PWF grants may not be used for indirect costs, overhead, and other expenses not directly related to the project. Fringe benefits are also excluded, as are salaries. Highest priorities will be given to 'shovel ready' projects, projects with secured matching funds and projects benefiting youth activities. Funds may not be used for travel to meetings or conferences, legal actions, endowments, or publication of research results.
