National Wildlife Federation 20002 Species Recovery Fund. (News & Events).

Applications are now being accepted for National Wildlife Federation's 2002 Species Recovery Fund (SRF). The fund was created to spur habitat restoration efforts, species reintroduction projects, and other creative endeavors that will directly improve conditions for the endangered species featured in the Federation's Keep the Wild Alive campaign. Priority is given to projects that also incorporate a public outreach component and can be easily replicated.

In 2002, the Keep the Wild Alive campaign will award approximately ten grants -- each between $3,000 and $7,000 -- to organizations, individuals, agencies, tribes and universities. The deadline for applications is February 15, 2002. A list of species that are eligible for funding, descriptions of projects that received SRF monies the past two years, and grant guidelines are available at: www.nwf.org/wildalive.
