About the Conservation Grant Fund
The Northeastern Wisconsin Zoo and the N.E.W. Zoological Society, Inc. are proud to announce the creation of a Conservation Grant Fund to help support wildlife conservation and research efforts worldwide. Beginning Spring 2007, grant monies will be awarded to qualified projects/individuals through an application process.
Award monies will be given to those projects dedicated to results-based solutions. Applications from other AZA-accredited facilities will be accepted, however projects should focus directly on wildlife within their native habitats. There are no maximum or minimum awards and funding will be for a one-year term only.
