GRANT INFORMATION

With support from Toyota Motor North America, the National Environmental Education Foundation (NEEF) is awarding approximately $200,000 in grant funding to support shovel-ready pollinator habitat enhancement projects on America’s public lands.

Through the 2023 Biodiversity Conservation Grant, NEEF aims to fund habitat enhancement projects that directly support the creation, restoration, remediation, improvement, and/or protection of habitats for important pollinator species such as butterflies, bees, bats, and more, on a minimum of 150 acres of public land. Additionally, projects will incorporate community outreach and engagement activities designed to educate and empower the public to help enhance pollinator habitats.

 STANDARD QUOTES

“Partnering with NEEF for the third year of the Biodiversity Conservation Grant will help Toyota meet its goal to enhance 26,000 acres of pollinator habitat in North America by 2025,” said Becky Martin, manager of Environmental Sustainability at Toyota.

“Pollinators play a crucial role in the health of public lands,” said Sara Espinoza, president and CEO of NEEF. “There are many great organizations out there working to increase environmental and community support for native pollinators, and funding from initiatives like the Biodiversity Conservation Grant can be a big help.”
