Proposals should include at least one of the following elements: Address at least one wildlife or natural resource conservation issue (for example, habitat and open space enhancement and protections, or the relationship of industrial development to habitat, or non-consumptive wildlife management). Serve as a catalyst to initiate conservation and/or best practices in the areas of wildlife and natural resources. Encourage the involvement of young people in volunteer activities centered around natural resources. Apply new technologies (for example, geographic information systems or remote sensing) to outdoor learning. Eligibility Criteria Grants may be made to public schools, youth organizations, or other nonprofit organizations exempt from federal taxation under Sections 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Code and, on occasion, to public/governmental agencies. Grants are not made to individuals. Generally, an organization may apply only once within a twelve-month period. Applications from organizations that did not submit final reports from prior grants will not be considered. In addition to evaluating each proposal against the above elements, the Wyoming Wildlife Foundation (WWF) Advisory Board asks the following questions about each grant request: Is the proposed project youth centered? Do youth have active participation in the project? Does the proposal emphasize the project rather than simply requesting funds for equipment? Does the proposed project have measurable outcomes and objectives? Does the proposed project collaborate with other agencies, organizations, or businesses? Does the proposed project have other funding sources? For more information, visit WWF. For more information, visit Wyoming Wildlife Foundation.
