PRIVATE FOUNDATIONS FOR FEDERAL AGENCY PURPOSES
The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation is a private, nonprofit, tax-exempt organization that Congress established in 1984. It is dedicated to the conservation of fish, wildlife, plants, and habitat. The Foundation meets its goals by creating partnerships between the public and private sectors and by strategically investing in the conservation and sustainable use of natural resources. It awards matching grants to projects benefiting conservation education, habitat protection and restoration, and natural resource management. Information on the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation is available at this website: http://www.nfwf.org.
The National Park Foundation has helped to fund important conservation, preservation, and education efforts. It grants millions of dollars annually in cash, services, or in-kind donations to the National Park Service and its partners. Grants range from small "seed" or start-up funding to larger, multi-year projects. Visit the foundation's website: http://www.nationalparks.org/about.
