The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, in partnership with the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies, offers the Multistate Conservation Grant Program. This competitive grant is designed to fund conservation projects addressing regional or national priority needs of State fish and wildlife agencies and their partners. The program aims to support initiatives that extend beyond the scope and capabilities of a single state, fostering collaborative efforts in wildlife and sport fish restoration. Authorized by various acts, including the Sport Fish and Wildlife Restoration Acts and the Modernizing the Pittman-Robertson Fund for Tomorrow’s Needs Act, the program provides significant annual funding to advance conservation efforts across multiple states. It seeks to tackle critical, large-scale conservation challenges.
