The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is offering the State Wildlife Grants Competitive Program (SWG-C) to support national efforts in conservation. Established in 2008, this grant program provides crucial resources for implementing and enhancing State Wildlife Action Plans (SWAPs) across the nation. The primary purpose of this grant is to foster cooperative partnerships that lead to significant, large-scale landscape conservation initiatives. Projects must address eligible actions outlined in U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service-approved SWAPs, tackle emerging issues like climate change impacts on species of greatest conservation need, or facilitate improvements to existing SWAPs that align with specified thematic areas. This grant aims to protect and improve the status of vulnerable species and their habitats.
