NFWF Accepting Applications For Delaware River Watershed Conservation Grants

The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation is soliciting proposals to conserve, restore, and connect people with fish and wildlife habitat in the Delaware River watershed.  The deadline for proposals is March 31.

In 2022, NFWF’s Delaware River Program will award grants through two distinct Requests for Proposals: Delaware Watershed Conservation Fund (DWCF) and Delaware River Restoration Fund (DRRF).

The Delaware River Program will award matching grants of $75,000 to $1,500,000 each to conserve, restore and protect habitats on public and private land that contribute to the overall health of the Delaware River watershed—as well as benefit the quality of life and economic vitality of the communities in the Delaware River watershed. 

Approximately $14 million in grant funding is available. Major funding for the Delaware Watershed Conservation Fund (DWCF) is provided by the U.S Fish & Wildlife Service with additional funding from AstraZeneca.
