About The California Wildlands Grassroots Fund
Next Deadline: October 28, 2016
The
California Wildlands Grassroots Fund (or Cal Wildlands) supports conservationists advocating for the permanent protection, including restoration and stewardship, of intact wildlands on both public and private lands to help preserve California’s
wilderness and native biological diversity.
Cal Wildlands defines “wildlands” as natural habitats, privately or publicly owned, that are (or have the potential to be) permanently preserved through legislation or deed restrictions, and are on a scale necessary to support significant native plant and animal
life.
Though many of our grantees’ projects are in rural areas, we may also support projects near urban or suburban settings, provided they feature connectivity to larger protected areas and/or are located along critical wildlife corridors.
Eligibility and Priorities
Geographic Scope: Project impact must be in California
Organizational Size: Annual actual expenses and revenues of $100,000 or less

Tax status: Applicants may be a nonprofit, or be fiscally sponsored by another nonprofit
Frequency: Grantees can only apply once per year. To be able to reapply, we must also have received a final report (narrative and financial report) for the most recent grant from Cal Wildlands
