Monarch Butterfly and Pollinators Conservation Fund

By National Fish & Wildlife Foundation

The Monarch Butterfly and Pollinators Conservation Fund supports projects that benefit monarch butterflies and one or more federally listed, candidate or proposed native insect pollinator species.

About

The Monarch Butterfly and Pollinators Conservation Fund provides support to projects in 2 categories:

  1. Technical Assistance 鈥� to increase the number of private landowners engaged in monarch butterfly and pollinator conservation practices on working lands.
  2. Habitat Improvement 鈥� on-the-ground work to increase the quality, quantity and connectivity of habitat for the monarch butterfly and other native insect pollinators. Funding will support two strategies: 1) restore and enhance habitat emphasizing the inclusion of milkweed, and diversity of nectar plants; 2) increase native seed supply of local ecotype seed and seedlings.

The most competitive projects will demonstrate clear benefits to both the monarch butterfly and other at-risk native insect pollinators. All proposals must specifically address how the proposed project will directly and measurably contribute to the accomplishment of the Fund鈥檚 goals as outlined in the . As such, all proposals must estimate the number of acres restored or under improved management as a result of the proposed project.
