Description

The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) is an American foundation that was chartered by the United States Congress in 1984 to increase the resources available for the conservation of the nation's fish, wildlife, plants, and habitats.

Bipartisan Infrastructure Law: Under this law, significant funding has been allocated to NFWF for various conservation initiatives. For instance, in 2023, the America the Beautiful Challenge received up to $116 million in grants, which includes federal funding aimed at locally led conservation projects.
Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill: After the Deepwater Horizon incident, NFWF received substantial funds from settlements with BP and Transocean. From 2013 to 2018, NFWF was directed to receive a total of $2.544 billion for environmental restoration in the Gulf Coast region through the Gulf Environmental Benefit Fund.
Federal Partnerships: NFWF works in partnership with several federal agencies like the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Department of Defense, the Department of Agriculture, and others, which often contribute to its funding for specific projects.
Matching Grants: A notable aspect of NFWF's operation is its model where federal dollars are matched with private contributions. This matching requirement ensures that federal investments are leveraged to achieve greater conservation outcomes.
America the Beautiful Challenge: This initiative, part of President Biden’s agenda, aims to conserve 30 percent of U.S. lands and waters by 2030. Federal funds through programs like this are directed to NFWF to support a wide range of conservation projects.
Non-Federal Match: NFWF requires non-federal match funding for its grants, which means that for every federal dollar awarded, there's an expectation of at least an equivalent amount in non-federal contributions, often leading to a higher overall impact.
