About Conservation Nation Grant Program

The Conservation Nation Grant Program provides funding to help protect threatened wildlife species and the ecosystems on which they depend by building a stronger and more representative community of conservationists working to address today’s urgent biodiversity challenges. We believe that lasting impact happens when passionate, knowledgeable, diverse, and locally connected conservationists are empowered to lead.

They support innovative, community-informed conservation efforts around the world led by practitioners from all communities, with a focus on those whose perspectives and leadership have historically been underrepresented in conservation. By investing in conservationists, we aim to help protect threatened wildlife species, preserve and restore habitats and ecosystems, and contribute to long-term biodiversity resilience across terrestrial, marine, and freshwater landscapes.
