National Fish and Wildlife Foundation: Native Plant Conservation Initiative
The Native Plant Conservation Initiative, a program of the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, supports projects that focus on the conservation of native plants and pollinators throughout the United States.

In 2009, priority will be given to projects that focus on the effects of climate change as it pertains to the conservation, restoration, and sustainability of North American native plant conservation in the 21st century.

Funded projects should benefit multiple species, achieve a variety of resource management objectives, and/or lead to revised management practices that reduce the causes of habitat degradation. A special emphasis is placed on larger projects that demonstrate a landscape-level approach and produce lasting, broad-based results on the ground.

Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations and local, state, and federal government agencies.
