FishAmerica Foundation Offers Funding for Conservation Projects
Deadline: July 31, 2006
The FishAmerica Foundation provides funding to nonprofit organizations such as sporting clubs, civic associations, conservation groups, and state agencies, in the United States and Canada.
The Conservation Projects Committee only funds projects that directly enhance water quality, habitat, and/or sport fish populations. The average conservation grant is $7,500. Funds for non-labor costs are provided for the following: habitat improvement; streambank stabilization; aeration systems; fishing reefs; silt removal; planting of trees and vegetation; fish passage improvements; hatchery construction/renovation; stocking and rearing projects with long-term value; litter cleanups; and heavy equipment rental and operation (i.e., removal of silt from fishing ponds, construction of fish ladders and bypasses, demolition and removal of dams, placement of large wood).
