The Cooperative Endangered Species Conservation Fund makes grants for projects that conserve the world’s most endangered species. Applicant must demonstrate a direct conservation benefit to the species or its habitat. While funding can only be granted to government agencies, individuals or groups may work with an eligible state government. The USFWS favors proposals that request under US$47 thousand, and that contribute complementary resources. The deadline for applications is 14 August 2018. Find the official announcement
