Other Grant Opportunities

NFWF, in partnership with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, is soliciting proposals to take action to slow or halt the impacts of white-nose syndrome disease (WNS) in North America and promote the survival and recovery of WNS-affected bat populations and species. The Bats for the Future Fund (BFF) will award up to an estimated $650,000 in grants in 2025.

The objectives of the BFF are to:

• Advance treatments and management tools that provide the greatest potential to improve bat survival by preventing exposure to Pseudogymnoascus destructans (Pd), the fungal pathogen that causes WNS, and/or enhancing bats’ ability to withstand the disease.
• Implement treatments, management tools, and habitat conservation strategies that help WNS-affected bat populations to recover from the impacts of WNS; and
• Support innovative and collaborative research leading directly to the deployment of treatments and management for WNS and WNS-affected species
