The Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife invites grant applications for conservation projects. The purpose of our Community Conservation Grants is to assist in the protection of our native species, habitats, landscapes and cultural heritage.

Grants are available for both field projects and education programs that have a direct outcome for nature conservation in Australia. All proposals are evaluated by FNPW’s Projects Committee based on funding priorities, funds available and quality and quantity of projects submitted.

FNPW may support approved projects through untied funds that belong to FNPW, or it may choose to run a targeted public appeal or seek third party sponsorship for the project.

FNPW Community Conservation Grants aim to fund urgent and high priority projects in the following Focus Areas:

• Growing Australia’s National Parks – Improving National Park facilities for the enjoyment of all, to foster and encourage the appreciation of nature.
• Protecting our native flora and fauna – Supporting scientific research and on-ground conservation works to protect threatened species and wildlife corridors
• Preserving our Cultural Heritage – Conserving and celebrating Australia’s Indigenous heritage
• Educating and Inspiring – Supporting programs that encourage more people to take part in on-ground conservation works
