Government grants are available for animal care and preservation
The government continues to increase its commitment to providing funds for animal care as part of its educational and wildlife preservation programs. The government makes a number of grants available to organizations and institutions that care for animals. Eligible institutions, organizations, groups and individuals should research available grants which can provide needed funding for these projects.
Endangered Species on Indian Lands
Federally Recognized Indian Tribal Governments and Native American organizations, including Indian groups, corporations, cooperatives, associations and partnerships, may apply for government grants for Endangered Species on Indian Lands. The government recognizes that many threatened or endangered species live on Indian lands, notably the bald eagle and the northern spotted owl. Government grant programs help Indian tribes develop management programs for the care and preservation of listed species.

Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act
The 1971 Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act provides project grants to protect, manage, care for and control wild free-roaming horses and burros. The grants support the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act’s goals of ensuring healthy herd populations, which can live sustainably on their lands. Grants support the project’s management of more than 38,000 burros and wild horses that roam public lands in 10 western states. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) of the Department of the Interior administers the grant program. Applicants should contact the specific BLM State Office where they wish to apply.
