Montana Audubon - wildlife grants

2012 will mark the 17th year of our Audubon Wildlife Fund grants. These grants fund education and research projects that benefit wildlife in Montana. Preference is given to projects benefiting nongame wildlife and their habitats. The funds can be used for mileage, supplies, equipment, printing, and communications.  Ineligible uses include salaries, stipends, per diem, and personal equipment.   

To apply for an Audubon Wildlife Fund grant, please use the application form that appears below. Additionally, it may be helpful to review the types of projects we have funded in the past:

We can also mail you a copy of the application, guidelines, and/or past grant recipients: Audubon Wildlife Fund, P.O. Box 595, Helena, MT 59624; by phone: (406) 443-3949; or by email.

To be considered for a 2012 grant, applications must be postmarked on or before Friday, December 16, 2011. Grant recipients will be announced by February 1, 2012.

In 2011, the following projects received grants:

• Montana Bird Distribution. A grant of $1,200 was given to support the development of the 7th edition of Montana Bird Distribution, which is the primary source of information about the current and historical distribution and status of birds in Montana, with maps indicating breeding, migration, and wintering areas for each species. This is a cooperative project between Montana Audubon, Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks, the Montana Natural Heritage Program, and the Montana Bird Records Committee. For more information about this project, click HERE >>.

• Short-eared Owl Monitoring. Matt Larson of the Owl Research Institute received a grant of $200 to support his Short-eared Owl monitoring project in western Montana. This project is testing roadside survey techniques that can be used by volunteers to monitor these declining owls.

Thanks for your interest in helping Montana's Wildlife!
