Created by Congress in 1984, the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation works with both the public and private sectors to protect and restore our nation’s fish, wildlife, plants and habitats. As one of the world’s largest grantmakers, the foundation supports conservation efforts in all 50 states and U.S. territories.
With its headquarters in Washington, D.C., the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation maintains four regional offices and three program offices to administer programs, manage and develop partnerships and deliver local services. The organization specializes in bringing individuals, government agencies, nonprofit organizations and corporations together. These partnerships work to protect and restore imperiled species, promote healthy oceans and estuaries, improve working landscapes for wildlife, advance sustainable fisheries and conserve water for wildlife and people.
The foundation's programs span forests and grasslands, oceans and coasts and freshwater ecosystems. Its IDEA (Impact-Directed Environmental Account) program manages funds arising from legal and regulatory actions involving natural resources and the environment. Community stewardship programs revitalize parks and natural spaces to benefit people and wildlife. In all, the foundation has supported over 14,000 projects with financial commitments topping $2.9 billion.
