This Competitive State Wildlife Grant (C-SWG) Program offers federal funds to support programs dedicated to the conservation of fish and wildlife and their habitats. The grant focuses on eligible activities such as conservation planning and the implementation of approved Wildlife Action Plans. Priority for funding is given to projects addressing species of greatest conservation need (SGCN) and their habitats, considering available funding levels. While general wildlife education, outreach, and law enforcement activities are typically ineligible, they may be considered if deemed a minor or incidental component critical to project success. The program aims to empower states and their partners in executing vital conservation efforts.
