The Nature of Learning Grant Program, an initiative of the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, supports costs associated with implementing The Nature of Learning, a conservation education program that uses National Wildlife Refuges as outdoor classrooms in order to promote a greater understanding of local conservation issues.

Start-Up grants of up to $10,000 will be awarded on a competitive basis to support initial expenses associated with new programs. Follow-Up grants of up to $5,000 will be awarded to provide continued support to existing The Nature of Learning Programs. Funded programs must involve a partnership among a local school(s), community group (e.g., Refuge Support Group), and National Wildlife Refuge.
