Funding Opportunities
$150,000 - $250,000
The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) is soliciting proposals for the inaugural year of the Restoration and Stewardship of Outdoor Resources and Environment (RESTORE) Colorado Program. Grants made through the RESTORE Colorado Program will focus on the restoration, enhancement and expansion of wildlife habitat throughout the state.
RESTORE Colorado is administered by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and represents a unique partnership between Great Outdoors Colorado, the Gates Family Foundation, the Colorado Department of Natural Resources, Colorado Parks and Wildlife, the Colorado Water Conservation Board and the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation.
In 2020, up to $2.5 million may be available for projects focusing on the following habitats and statewide priorities:
- River corridors, riparian areas and wetlands
- Eastern Colorado grasslands
- Sagebrush
- Big game winter range and migration routes
- Forestland projects in specific geographies
The partners developed the program as a means to accomplish wildlife habitat restoration, expansion, and improvement at-scale and provide opportunities for the proactive management of Colorado’s public and private conservation lands for the greatest benefit to wildlife and local communities. While 2020 shall serve as a pilot year for this program, the partners expect to continue and expand in the future.

The purpose of the Landscape Conservation Catalyst Fund is to accelerate the pace of conservation at scale across the United States through targeted support of collaborative Landscape Conservation.
$25,000 - $200,000
This program funds changes in land management that can make a big contribution to climate mitigation in the United States. A 2018 study examined the potential to implement natural solutions in the lower 48 states — such as reforestation, practices that improve soil health and forest carbon management, restore coastal wetlands, as well as practices that prevent conversion of natural and working lands. These practices can increase carbon storage and reduce greenhouse gas emissions while also providing benefits for people, water and wildlife.
$25,000 - $250,000
The Cimate Adpatation Fund supports one to two-year projects that implement science-driven, on-the-ground actions that assist wildlife and ecosystems to adapt to climate change at a landscape scale.

Be designed for long-term conservation impact.
Create the potential for impact at a landscape scale.
Use strategic, targeted communications activities to amplify adaptation outcomes.
Be designed with climate adaptation for wildlife and ecosystems as a core goal or outcome of the work.
Propose conservation goals and actions that are grounded in the best available science.
Conduct on-the-ground implementation, not research, planning or tool development.
