Green Grants

Does your nature center, land trust, local municipality, or other nonprofit have a conservation project that needs funding? Are you a teacher in need of extra funding to take your students on field trips or do an environmental project?

The Natural Resources Foundation of Wisconsin’s C.D. Besadny Conservation Grant and Teachers’ Outdoor Environmental Education Grant applications are now available for small-scale natural resources projects and programs that support the responsible stewardship of Wisconsin’s natural resources at the local level.

Grants ranging from $100-$1,000 are awarded annually to projects or programs in Wisconsin that benefit the public, involve management and restoration of Wisconsin’s natural resources, and/or contribute to knowledge about Wisconsin’s natural resources through education. Recipients are required to match the grant award on a 1:1 basis with funds or in-kind services.

For more information and to apply, visit wisconservation.org. Applications must be postmarked by September 6, 2014. Questions about the program may be directed to Caitlin Williamson at 866.246.4096, or [email protected].
