“I am so thankful for grant programs like the Heritage Grant because it helped my dream become a reality.The schoolyard habitat has brought real world, hands-on learning to our school. It will continue to help students become aware of their environment and the need to conserve resources.”
Julia Goucher

4th grade Teacher, Peralta Trail Elementary School

In 1990, Arizona voters approved the use of lottery dollars to help create the Heritage Fund. In 1992 the Arizona Game and Fish Department established the Heritage Fund “Grants” Program administered as part of the overall Heritage Fund Program. The grants program was initially developed as a way to promote outreach in order to enhance important partnerships and generate fresh approaches in support of our agency mission. Since inception, the Department has had the opportunity to award over thirteen million dollars through the Heritage Fund grants program and support over six hundred and fifty projects throughout the state.

During the 2009 Heritage Fund grant cycle a total of $552,000.00 in funding was available to support grant proposals. The Department received forty-two proposals requesting a total of $1,700,000.00. The Arizona Game and Fish Department subsequently awarded seventeen of these projects for a total of $539,414.00 in grants funded.
