Fund RFP





The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation has today announced the release
of the *2025 request for proposals*
<https://www.nfwf.org/programs/longleaf-landscape-stewardship-fund/longleaf-landscape-stewardship-fund-2025-request>
(RFP) under the Longleaf Landscape Stewardship Fund.



This RFP expects to award approximately *$31 million* in federal and
private sector funding in support of on-the-ground projects that help
accelerate longleaf pine restoration on private and public lands to support
wildlife, sequester carbon, safeguard water quality, and increase forest
resilience. Limited funding also is available to support bottomland
hardwood restoration and enhancement activities as outlined within the RFP.



In pursuit of habitat and species restoration goals, applicants are
encouraged to prioritize projects that also address co-benefits of proposed
restoration activities (carbon sequestration, water quality/quantity, etc.)
and engage local communities and historically underserved landowners.



All proposals must specifically address how projects will directly and
measurably contribute to the longleaf pine and associated species goals
outlined in the Longleaf Forest and Rivers Business Plan
<https://www.nfwf.org/sites/default/files/longleaf/Documents/longleaf-forests-rivers-business-plan.pdf>.




*Full proposals are due Wednesday, February 5, 2025, by 11:59 PM Eastern
Time*.



An applicant webinar will be held on Wednesday, December 11, 2024, from
3:00 PM – 4:30 PM Eastern Time. Registration is required and
applicants can *register
