What We Do Conservation Grant-in-Aid

Grant-in-Aid Overview

WSF directs funding to a variety of wild sheep conservation and management programs, primarily in North America and central Asia. Our attention and focus is on landscape-scale, impactful, high-priority projects, especially projects that enhance wild sheep habitats and restore wild sheep populations.

Applications for the FY 2025-2026 Grant-in-Aid (“GIA”) cycle must be submitted online between July 1-31, 2025.  

GIA Funding Decisions are Guided by:

  • Alignment with our WSF Mission.
  • Priority goals identified in our Conservation Vision 2025. Applicants should carefully review that document to ensure that proposals address one or more priority goals.
  • Applications submitted by, through or closely coordinated with our network of WSF Chapters and Affiliates (C&As) will receive the highest priority consideration for Fiscal Year 2025-26. Non-C&A applicants (e.g., agencies, universities, consultants, individuals, organizations, etc.) should coordinate closely with their local C&As, if applicable. Letters of Support or other written documentation of that collaboration are required, where applicable.
  • WSF rarely acts as the sole funding source for programs/projects and prioritizes proposals with strong cost-share/collaborative funding from partners, especially in jurisdictions where WSF helps raise funds via the sale of Conservation Permits.
