The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service offers the competitive NAWCA US Small Grants program to support public-private partnerships in the United States. This program funds projects focused on the long-term protection, restoration, enhancement, or establishment of wetland and associated upland habitats. The primary goal is to benefit migratory bird populations, aligning with the North American Wetlands Conservation Act. Applicants must propose initiatives that directly contribute to habitat conservation, rather than research. A crucial requirement for this grant is a 1:1 non-federal matching contribution. This grant supports the Department of the Interior and FWS mission to conserve the nation’s natural resources and expand outdoor recreation access through collaborative efforts.
