The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service offers the State Wildlife Grant Program to provide federal funds to States, Commonwealths, and territories. This grant is for the development and implementation of programs benefiting wildlife and their habitats, including non-hunted or fished species. Activities must align with the State’s approved Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Plan (Wildlife Action Plan), encompassing both planning and execution phases. A key priority for these funds is the conservation of species with the greatest conservation need, considering available funding levels. While general wildlife education and law enforcement are typically ineligible, minor components critical to a direct conservation project, consistent with the State’s Wildlife Action Plan, may be permitted. This program aims to support vital wildlife and habitat preservation efforts nationwide.
