SUMMARY:Anniversary Grants
DESCRIPTION:The Fish and Wildlife Service Retirees Association has fund for Friends groups celebrating anniversaries. These grants are intended to support celebrations of significant anniversary events of their Service site\, e.g. 10. 50\, 75\, and 100. Even if the anniversary doesn’t end in a 5 or a 0\, the celebration could be honoring conservation heroes like Aldo Leopold\, Ding Darling\, etc.\, and title the event America 250th. \n\n\n\n\nThe 2026 application is on the CORFA website at https://coalitionofrefugefriends.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/APPLICATION-Anniv-Grant-MASTER.docx\n\n\nThe submission deadline to me is 30 June for events scheduled from 1 July to 31 December 2026.
