We are pleased to announce that we are now accepting applications for our 2024 Equity, Birds, and Culture Mini-Grants! Our Mini-Grants support events or programming that prioritize Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in birdwatching and conservation within vulnerable communities. Grant awards range from $250 to $2,500 US. We award mini-grants to organizations from Canada, the United States, Latin America, and the Caribbean. No prior experience with birds is required.

We prioritize community-led applications that emphasize the sharing of community knowledge, culture, and the arts.
