Today, the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation has released its request for proposals for the Monarch Butterfly and Pollinators Conservation Fund.  There is an excerpt from the RFP below.

The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) is soliciting proposals to advance pollinator conservation. The goal of the Monarch Butterfly and Pollinators Conservation Fund (Pollinator Fund) is to protect, conserve, and increase habitat for the monarch butterfly and other pollinators. The Pollinator Fund will award up to $1.3 million in grants in 2020.  Funding is provided by Shell Oil Company, Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and U.S. Forest Service (USFS). The most competitive projects will demonstrate clear benefits to both the monarch butterfly and other at-risk native insect pollinators. Grants will be awarded in two categories: 1) Technical Assistance for Private Working Lands and 2) Habitat Improvement.
