Summary
An annual conservation planning grant is available to support nonprofit organizations and land trusts operating across the United States. This program offers funding to help integrate climate science into conservation strategies, improve land stewardship practices, and enhance community resilience. The grant is aimed at supporting projects that address ecological threats, secure critical habitats, and foster sustainable, equitable outcomes for both people and nature.
Eligible applicants include nonprofit entities with a conservation focus, such as land trusts and environmental alliances. Policies emphasize readiness and the ability to apply scientific insights to practical conservation planning. Receiving organizations should be prepared to embed climate adaptation, habitat protection, or renewable energy considerations into their planning processes.
The grants provide awards ranging from $5,000 to $15,000 per project and do not require matching funds, although supplemental funding from partners is welcomed. Funds may be used to cover costs such as staff time, consulting fees, spatial analysis, stakeholder engagement, and communication planning. This support is especially valuable for organizations aiming to develop strategies that incorporate forest carbon management, climate-smart land use, or equitable access to natural resources.
The selection process prioritizes projects that demonstrate thoughtful integration of climate resilience, a clear framework for conservation outcomes, and potential to benefit underserved communities. While the mechanism is regional in scope, funding is widely accessible to groups working in both rural and urban settings across the country. Grantee projects typically span a year or more, allowing time for detailed planning and community collaboration.
This annual opportunity offers consistent support for organizations working at the intersection of ecological science and land protection. It enables recipients to create actionable plans that guide future land acquisition, stewardship, management, or outreach efforts—ultimately contributing to stronger conservation systems and more resilient landscapes.
