The John H. Prescott Marine Mammal Rescue and Response Grant Program provides grants or cooperative agreements to eligible stranding network participants or stranding network collaborators. This program is administered as a grant or as a cooperative agreement.

The Wildlife Crossings Pilot Program (WCPP) is a competitive grant program with the goal of reducing Wildlife Vehicle Collisions (WVCs) while improving habitat connectivity for terrestrial and aquatic species. $145 million is available for the combined application years of FY2024-FY2025. Applications are due Sept 4, 2024.

The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) is soliciting proposals to further conservation of species and habitats in Alaska. The Alaska Fish and Wildlife Fund (AFWF) invests in projects that achieve or substantially lead to measurable on-the-ground conservation outcomes and fill key information gaps through assessments and strategic monitoring that result in improved habitat or population management actions. Since 2008, the AFWF has awarded $19.8 million to 224 projects. These projects have leveraged almost $33.1 million in matching funds and in-kind contributions for a total conservation impact of $52.9 million. In 2025, the AFWF expects to award approximately $500,000 in grants.

Grants will be awarded to projects that occur within the geographies highlighted in Map 1, and as listed below:

•    Alaska North Slope
•    Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta
•    Cook Inlet/Matanuska-Susitna Basin/Kodiak Archipelago
