Funding for community projects and research initiatives are available through the following programs:
The overall goal of the HSP is to "contribute to the recovery of endangered, threatened, and other species at risk, and to prevent other species from becoming a conservation concern, by engaging Canadians from all walks of life in conservation actions to benefit wildlife."
CFWIP - Community Fisheries and Wildlife Involvement Program (CFWIP), MNR
Your opportunity to participate in hands-on fish and wildlife management and conservation activities. You can develop volunteer projects that will improve fish and wildlife in the province, and improve opportunities for outdoor recreation. The Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) will provide financial help, expertise, equipment and materials for approved CFWIP projects. We welcome everyone in Ontario to volunteer his or her time and ideas.
If you own land identified by the Ministry of Natural Resources as eligible for the Conservation Land Tax Incentive Program, an application will be sent to you during the summer prior to each new tax year. If you wish to participate in the program, simply complete it and return it to the address indicated on the application.
Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) has been committed to wetland conservation for more than 65 years. Despite this, wetland loss continues across Canada. As much as 70 per cent of Canada’s original wetlands have been lost in some areas of the country.
Funding is available through the EcoAction Community Funding Program for projects that address Environment Canada’s priority issues of Clean Air and Climate Change, Clean Water, and Nature. At this time, funding priority may be given to eligible projects that address Clean Air and Climate Change issues
The Endangered Species Recovery Fund (ESRF), a joint initiative of Environment Canada and World Wildlife Fund (Canada), was established in 1988 to support recovery activities for species at risk of extinction. Project proposals from university researchers, conservation groups and others are reviewed once a year by a Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) which makes funding recommendations based on established criteria. The SAC is composed of experts who altogether provide broad taxonomic and geographic expertise. Since 1988, over $7 Million has been invested by ESRF partners for more than several hundred projects, and 100 different species at risk.
Our mission is to bring communities and nature together for the benefit of both. We engage people in creating and sustaining healthy, dynamic outdoor spaces - in our schools, our communities and our homes. We believe that local stewardship creates vibrant neighbourhoods, a healthy natural environment and a sustainable society for all.
Great Lakes Sustainability Fund was established to work in partnership with other agencies and local community stakeholders to advance Remedial Action Plans that have been developed for each of Canada’s remaining “Areas of Concern” (AOC) located within the Great Lakes Basin.
GLSF provides technical and financial support to projects (up to one-third of the total cost) that implement remedial actions to complete the clean up and restoration in three key priority areas:
- - fish and wildlife habitat rehabilitation and stewardship;
- - contaminated sediment assessment and remediation; and
- - innovative approaches to improve municipal wastewater effluent quality.

Helping landowners to conserve and enhance wetlands.
Wildlife Habitat Canada (WHC) is a national, non-profit, conservation organization established in 1984 by Environment Canada, provincial wildlife agencies and conservation organizations. WHC envisions a future where Canadians share a conservation ethic that recognizes the fundamental importance of wildlife habitats that are abundant, rich and support biodiversity, and that inspires the rest of the world.
The Government of Canada created the Climate Change Action Fund in 1998. The Science constituent within the Science, Impacts and Adaptation component of the Fund supports research to increase our understanding of the climate system, how it operates, and how it might change.
