2010 Mini-Grant Awards
June 2010
(JEFFERSON CITY, Missouri) – The Conservation Federation of Missouri has awarded $17,200 to conservation organizations in its second year of Missouri Teaming With Wildlife Mini-Grants. The ten grants will empower citizen conservation efforts within Conservation Opportunity Areas around the state.
The Teaming With Wildlife Coalition includes more than 270 Missouri organizations and businesses that support additional funding for fish, forest and wildlife conservation and related education and outdoor recreation. The coalition also supports implementation of Missouri’s Comprehensive Wildlife Strategy – a statewide strategy that focuses on partnerships to increase habitat work in priority places – Conservation Opportunity Areas. Information about Conservation Opportunity Areas can be found online at mdc.mo.gov/nathis/cws/coa/.
"It’s wonderful to see citizen conservation groups get involved and take ownership of local conservation efforts," said Dave Murphy, CFM Executive Director. "Our organization is made of citizen conservationists, and we’re pleased to offer this program for a second year to supports their efforts."
The Mini-Grant program provides funds for a combination of partnership meetings and on-the-ground habitat restoration. "We’ve learned that partnerships are really key to increasing conservation activities," said Amy Buechler, Teaming With Wildlife Coordinator. "In many cases, hosting a partnership meeting is the first needed step to jumpstart coordinated activities. In other cases, start-up money is needed to help accomplish a healthy habitat goal."
The Conservation Federation of Missouri is the largest and oldest statewide citizen conservation organization in Missouri, working to conserve natural resources and protect Missouri’s natural heritage. Funding for the 2010 Teaming With Wildlife Mini-Grant Program was provided by CFM, as well as through donations from Teaming With Wildlife partner organizations including the Missouri Department of Conservation, Missouri Prairie Foundation, and Ozark Regional Land Trust. A special thanks to our major sponsor, Bass Pro Shops, who has provided a dollar for dollar match on all gifts to our mini-grant program.
