Who can apply

“Applicants can include local governments, nonprofit or not-for-profit organizations, and for-profit entities.”
In the funder’s own words, from georgiawildlife.com, checked Oct 28, 2026.

Projects that help people see native nongame wildlife: habitat plantings, bird blinds, trails, signs. Scored on public access and use, conservation value, upkeep and match, so a school-only project may score lower. Last cycle's winners, and groups whose older projects were extended into the last cycle, wait a year. Religion not mentioned (faith: not_stated). Paid to: the organization.

  • Local government, nonprofit or for-profit (with explanation)
  • Nongame wildlife viewing project
  • Not funded in the last cycle
  • Spend by December 1, 2027

Timing

Due February 4, 2027, 11:59 p.m. EST. Winners told by March 16, 2027; spend by December 1, 2027.
