AZGFD can Provide Financial Resources for Educators

The Arizona Game and Fish Department is pleased to announce a grant designed specifically for Arizona educators. The goal of this program is to provide financial resources (up to $3,000) to Arizona teachers to help implement quality wildlife education in their classrooms.

grant proposal information

Any education professional who is currently operating within the state of Arizona is eligible to apply. This includes government and non-profit employees who are responsible for educating Arizona’s students.

AZGFD will accept applications in July of 2024 until the deadline of Sept 1. Any applications received after that deadline may be eligible for an additional scoring round in January, if money is available.

grant proposals are considered when the applicant:

• has attended a previous educator workshop hosted by the Department (or has plans to attend a future workshop) and wants some money to help implement education related to that workshop

OR

• is developing an innovative wildlife-focused lesson or resource for the classroom and
  needs money to complete the project

OR

• has developed a unique, inquiry-based field trip to take place on one of the many public lands in Arizona and needs money to off-set some of those costs
