State offers fish and wildlife grants
January 25, 2012
By Staff
The state Department of Fish and Wildlife has grants for people and organizations interested in conserving fish and wildlife species.
The agency expects to award about $180,000 from the Aquatic Land Enhancement Account to reimburse residents and groups for volunteer projects related to conservation or to help the public enjoy and understand animal species.
The program funds projects related to habitat, research, education and outreach, facility development and artificial production — although the agency intends to consider other projects. Grants cannot be used for salaries, wages or stipends.
Eligible applicants include citizens, nonprofit organizations, American Indian tribes and political subdivisions of the state, such as schools, universities and public utility districts. The funding is unavailable to state and federal agencies.
Find application materials at the agency website, http://wdfw.wa.gov/grants/alea/ index.html, or by calling 360-902-2700. The submission deadline is Feb. 29.
