Grant Description
Grants to Canada individuals, nonprofit organizations, Indigenous organizations, IHEs, for-profit organizations, community groups, and government agencies for environmental preservation projects. Funding may be used for the conservation, enhancement, and restoration of habitats, research, conservation networking, and projects related to the Newfoundland and Labrador Murre.

WHC will primarily support projects involving the participation of multiple partners that:

  • Support the priority conservation activities under the North American Waterfowl Management Plan (NAWMP), including the human dimensions’ goal;
  • Support regional and local habitat projects of importance to other migratory game birds; and,
  • Support the priority conservation and management activities under the Newfoundland and Labrador Murre Conservation Fund.

Additional Considerations:

  • Projects that contribute to an equitable geographic distribution of WHC support across Canada.
  • The involvement of multiple funding partners.
  • Assurance that WHC funds will be used for project-related activities within the specified fiscal timeframe.
  • Projects that support the waterfowl hunting community’s role and contribution to wildlife and habitat conservation.
  • Projects that promote and advocate the importance of wildlife habitat in Canada.      
  • Projects with a lasting and long-term conservation impact.
