Welcome
For over two decades, the Multistate Conservation Grant Program (MSCGP) has been firmly dedicated to preserving our nation’s fish and wildlife populations and conserving natural resources and crucial habitats.
The MSCGP was established through the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Programs Improvement Act of 2000 (Improvement Act), which amended the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act and the Dingell-Johnson Sport Fish Restoration Act. Co-administered by the Association of Fish & Wildlife Agencies (AFWA) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), the MSCGP seeks out the most pressing conservation needs from leading U.S. fish and wildlife biologists, managers, and professionals; then focuses on funding projects that specifically address those needs.
Each year, the MSCGP directs up to $11 million to support projects directly benefiting fish and wildlife conservation and state fish and wildlife agencies, as well as projects that provide a foundation for future management and conservation and for R3 grants that promote a national hunting and shooting sports recruitment program, including related communications and outreach activities.
