Grants to Support Nevada Available

Nevada residents and organizations have a unique opportunity to make a difference to the birds that enrich our lives.

​The George Whittell Nevada Environmental Fund and the Silver State Wings Conservation Fund provide support for initiatives by Nevada residents, educational institutions and non-profit organizations that benefit our environment and its inhabitants. Applications are now available on line.

Previous grants awarded have supported a native plant pollinator garden, promoted making windows bird friendly, provided a field trip for college students to learn about conservation ranching, helped restore a critical wetland and more. 
 
You or your organization may apply for either or both the Silver State Wings Fund and the Whittell Fund. More than one grant per fund can be approved.  The maximum amount available for Silver State Wings is approximately $2,000 and Whittell is approximately $10,000.
