Overview

Go Wild Grants

Canadian secondary schools are going wild with WWF-Canada, creating leadership opportunities and student experiences in building a sustainable future. Are you a secondary student interested in leading a Go Wild project? Consult with a teacher to support you in your project proposal. If you are a teacher, consider a classroom brainstorming session to shape your Go Wild proposal, or host a student pitch competition to identify a project or two to submit to WWF-Canada for funding.

From now until October 23, 2023, submit your proposal for a chance to receive a $1,500 grant to kick-start your project!

Interested in Going Wild with WWF-Canada?

Go Wild Grants are designed to help students and educators protect and restore habitat on school grounds, for the benefit of wildlife and people. Previous grantees have created native pollinator gardens and seed orchards, restored creeks and forests, monitored local wildlife, conducted biodiversity inventories, raised awareness about conservation issues, and more!

Grants of $1,500 are available to support practical, hands-on projects that will be completed during the 2023-2024 academic year.

We will prioritize ideas that help school communities to:

Learn and discover the local ecosystem, its history, biodiversity, how it works and what it needs
Take action for nature by creating, restoring or protecting habitat with native plants and trees
Connect with your communities to create lasting impact

Apply by Monday, October 23, 2023, to bring your idea to life!
