The Department of Interior and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service offer the U.S. Standard Grants Program, a competitive, matching grant designed to support public-private partnerships across the United States. This grant is for furthering the goals of the North American Wetlands Conservation Act by funding projects focused on the long-term protection, restoration, enhancement, and establishment of wetland and associated upland habitats specifically to benefit migratory birds. The program mandates a 1:1 non-federal match, and research funding is explicitly ineligible. This initiative aligns with the Department’s mission to protect and manage the nation’s natural resources through collaboration with partners, conserving land and water, and expanding access for outdoor recreation.
