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 accepted applications in July of 2022 and were due by 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:

OR

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