The\u00a0Neotropical Migratory Bird Conservation Act (NMBCA)<\/a>\u00a0was passed in 2002 in order to promote the long-term conservation of neotropical migratory birds and their habitats.\u00a0The act established a competitive, matching grants program that supports public-private partnerships carrying out noteworthy projects in the U.S., Canada, Latin America, and the Caribbean. While most conservation activities that benefit neotropical migratory birds are eligible, land protection, habitat restoration, community outreach, and education, as well as bird research and monitoring, may all be of special interest to land trusts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The due date for NMBCA proposals is usually October or November (this year, it is October 31, 2024). The maximum amount available in any one grant is $250,000. As of the FY 2025 RFP, there is a 2:1 matching requirement, and in the U.S. and Canada the match must be in cash funds that are or were expended after January 1, 2022 (for this year’s opportunity). For many small land trusts, finding a 2:1 match can be difficult. For this reason, NMBCA proposals are great opportunities for partnerships with other land trusts, conservation organizations, or academic institutions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
