The Water for Wildlife® Foundation (WFWF) aims to preserve the diversity and health of wild species and their habitats in arid regions across the West, impacted by prolonged drought conditions. Initially focused on aiding pronghorn antelope, WFWF has expanded its mission to encompass a broader range of species inhabiting these environments, emphasizing cooperation with various state and federal agencies, and other non-profit conservation groups to enhance wildlife conservation efforts.
The Water for Wildlife® Foundation Grant is dedicated to conserving wildlife through the development and support of supplemental water and habitat resources. Aimed at a broad spectrum of wildlife, including both game and non-game species, the grant program supports projects that construct water/habitat developments. It prioritizes proposals based on several criteria, including the benefit to area wildlife, the project's cost-effectiveness, and the presence of cost-share funding and partnership. Grants typically range from $1,000 to $10,000, encouraging agencies and conservation organizations to collaborate towards improving water and habitat accessibility for wildlife.
