Summary
There are several recurring grant opportunities available each year that support conservation, habitat restoration, and community-driven environmental improvement projects across a range of regions in the United States. These funding programs aim to help organizations and partnerships take meaningful action to protect wildlife, improve water quality, and restore critical landscapes that benefit both people and nature.
One of the opportunities focuses on restoring and enhancing longleaf pine ecosystems in the southeastern states. This funding is designed to help nonprofit groups, local governments, tribal entities, and collaborative partnerships carry out work that improves habitat conditions, expands native forests, and supports wildlife. Typical awards under this program can range from a few hundred thousand dollars to several million, depending on the scale of the proposed work.
Another annual opportunity supports innovative efforts to reduce nutrient and sediment runoff in a large watershed on the East Coast. This funding prioritizes collaborative projects that implement best practices in agricultural and urban settings to improve water quality. Eligible applicants include nonprofits, educational institutions, and government partners working together on multi-year initiatives, with awards commonly reaching into the low millions for larger, multi-partner proposals.
In the central plains, there are funding rounds that emphasize conservation of grasslands and associated species. These awards help organizations and landowner partnerships protect and restore large tracts of habitat, enhance connectivity, and support species that rely on intact prairie landscapes. Funding amounts vary by project but are intended to catalyze significant landscape-scale improvements.
Other opportunities exist for community-scale watershed work in specific regions and for voluntary habitat restoration in western states, with grants ranging from modest sums for local projects to larger investments for broad, strategic conservation efforts. Eligible recipients typically include nonprofits, government agencies, and other collaborating partners, with the focus on delivering real conservation outcomes where the work will occur.
If you are located in Tennessee and working in the area of Pets/Animals/Wildlife, this funding opportunity may be a good fit. For more relevant grant options that support your work and priorities, visit The Grant Portal and use the Search Grant tool to find opportunities.
