The mission of the New Hope Bird Alliance (NHBA) is to promote the conservation and enjoyment of birds, other wildlife, and ecosystems, particularly in the counties it serves – Chatham, Durham, Orange, and parts of other surrounding counties. In line with its mission NHBA is committed to supporting land acquisition and restoration that helps protect and preserve or restore wildlife habitat in North Carolina, focusing on property in its territory.
The NHBA Land Protection and Restoration Grant Program provides funding for up to two grants each calendar year that are in line with NHBA’s mission. Up to $5,000 will be awarded during each grant application period for each project that supports land conservation or restoration; awards are dependent on the availability of funds and must be approved by the NHBA Board of Directors. This formal grant program will not preclude NHBA from providing financial support for ad hoc land acquisition or restoration projects.
NHBA will accept completed applications from eligible applicants twice a year. Eligible applicants include qualified nonprofit tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organizations, including land trusts and nature centers, as well as state, local, municipal, and tribal governments. Applying organizations and agencies must be located in the State of North Carolina.
