Funding Our Initiatives
The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation addresses the most critical
wildlife and habitat conservation issues through initiatives developed
to focus the Foundation's resources and expertise to achieve a
significant positive impact. Learn more about the Foundation's current
funding initiatives or make a gift to advance these initiatives.
Bird Conservation
The Foundation has been making strides in bird conservation and taken
a lead role in efforts to conserve some of the most endangered
birds to bring them back from the brink.
Fish Conservation
According to recent studies, the nation has lost 20 percent of our
fish and aquatic populations and nearly 40 percent of the nation's
native fish populations are in rapid decline. In 2006 the Foundation
launched the More
Fish Campaign to help restore abundant and healthy populations of
fish and aquatic species to our nation’s waters.
Marine and Coastal Conservation
From the Pacific to the Caribbean, the Foundation awarded more than
$17 million in the last year to protect unique coastal and marine
habitats and species.
Save The Tiger Fund
Today, only 6 of 9 tiger subspecies remain, and there are fewer than
5,000 wild tigers in the wild. Since its launch in 1995, the Save The
Tiger Fund has supported 300 projects in 13 out of the 14 tiger range
countries with $15 million through a partnership between ExxonMobil
Foundation, the Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund, and the National
Fish and Wildlife Foundation. The general public has also played an
important role.
Wildlife and Habitat Conservation
Conservation of wildlife and habitat is central to the mission of the
Foundation. Last year the Foundation awarded more than $40 million in
grants to support the protection and restoration of wildlife and
critical habitat. Learn more about funding this initiative. Learn
