Minor Revisions to WCB General Grant Guidelines

As of August 1, 2024, the Wildlife Conservation Board will be using a revised version of its General Grant Guidelines which were previously posted in January 2023. It is available on WCB's Grant Opportunities page. These revisions are generally minor, the most substantive of which are summarized below:

  • Information about requesting advance funding
  • Updates for Amendments for Development Project Grants
  • Clarification of differences between Acquisition and Development projects regarding Reporting and Monitoring
  • Updated information about Signage and Other Acknowledgements

Future proposals submitted to the Wildlife Conservation Board must comply with these revised guidelines. For questions, please contact Shannon Lucas at [email protected].
