The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) is soliciting proposals to advance pollinator conservation. The goal of the Monarch Butterfly and Pollinators Conservation Fund (Pollinator Fund) is to protect, conserve, and increase habitat for the monarch butterfly and other pollinators. The majority of funding will support projects that benefit the monarch butterfly, but projects that address demonstrated needs for other at-risk native insect pollinator species are also eligible. The most competitive projects will demonstrate clear benefits to both the monarch butterfly and other at-risk native insect pollinators. Grants will be awarded in two categories:
- Technical Assistance for Private Working Lands
- Habitat Improvement
The Pollinator Fund will award up to $1.3 million in grants in 2020: up to $600,000 for Technical Assistance for Private Working Lands and up to $680,000 for Habitat Improvement. Funding is provided by Shell Oil Company, Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and U.S. Forest Service (USFS).
