The AZGFD Heritage K-12 Small Grant Program aims to provide financial resources of up to $3000 to Arizona teachers for implementing quality wildlife education in their classrooms. The program is open to any education professional operating within Arizona, with a preference for current K-12 teachers in public education. Projects must meet specific eligibility criteria, including participation in professional development, teacher-designed field experiences, or school-based wildlife education projects. The grant cycle follows the Arizona state fiscal year, with deadlines on September 1 and January 1. A total of $32,000 is available for this grant cycle, funded by the Arizona Game and Fish Department's annual allocation of lottery Heritage funding.
