From: Daley Burns <Daley.Burns@NFWF.ORG>

Sent: Tuesday, August 10, 2021 8:41 AM

You are receiving this email as a past applicant to National Fish and Wildlife Foundation’s programs within the Southern Great Plains Landscape which includes eastern Colorado, Kansas, southern Nebraska, northeastern New Mexico, Oklahoma, and the Texas Panhandle. We have released an inaugural Southern Plains Grassland Program 2022 Request for Proposals which can be viewed here: https://www.nfwf.org/programs/southern-plains-grassland-program/southern-plains-grassland-program-2022-request-proposals

The Southern Plains Grassland Program seeks to work closely with nonprofit and government partners and the ranching community to bring important financial and technical resources to improve grassland ecosystem health and resilience to climate change in the Southern Great Plains. These actions will boost the vitality of this often-overlooked ecosystem, providing benefits to wildlife and to rural, ranching-based communities. These actions increase the ability of grasslands to store carbon, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and provide key benefits to address climate change.

Full Proposals are due Thursday, November 4^th 2021, by 10:59 pm CT / 9:59 pm MT.

We will be holding an Applicant Webinar on Thursday, August 19^th 2021 at 11 am CT / 10 am MT. You can register for the webinar here: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/7881557050369696016
