Friends of NACD District Grants Program – Districts helping districts

The Friends of NACD Program enables individuals to support the nation’s nearly 3,000 conservation districts through cash donations to NACD. As Friends of NACD, individuals contribute at four donation levels (between $35 to $1500), with each level entitling members to specific benefits.

Included as a benefit to Friends of NACD is the opportunity to support individual conservation districts through the Friends of NACD Grant Program. As of Fiscal Year 2020, donations through Friends of NACD will support four grants, up to $2,500 each, to be awarded at NACD’s 2020 Annual Meeting in Las Vegas, Nevada. Read the Friends of NACD District Grants Request for Proposal (RFP) below for more information.

Districts must apply through the online application form prior to the January 15, 2020 deadline (11:59 PM, local time). Please review the District Grants RFP for district and project eligibility, selection criteria, project timeline and more.
