This competitive matching grant program, offered by the Department of the Interior’s U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), is specifically designed to support public-private partnerships across the United States. Its primary purpose is to advance the objectives of the North American Wetlands Conservation Act (NAWCA) by funding projects focused on the long-term protection, restoration, enhancement, or establishment of wetland and associated upland habitats. These efforts are crucial for benefiting migratory bird populations. Applicants must secure a 1:1 non-federal match, and research funding is explicitly ineligible. The program aligns with the FWS’s mission to conserve the nation’s natural resources, fostering collaboration to protect land and water while expanding outdoor recreation opportunities.
