The Arizona Game and Fish Department (AZGFD) is offering a grant program specifically for Arizona educators, providing financial support of up to $3,000 to enhance wildlife education in K-12 classrooms. This grant is designed to help teachers implement engaging and quality wildlife education by offsetting costs associated with unique field experiences, professional development, or classroom supplies for innovative lessons.

The K-12 Small Grant Program supports a wide range of educational initiatives aimed at bringing wildlife and conservation topics to life for students. Teachers with creative lesson ideas or the desire to enrich their classroom experience through hands-on learning are encouraged to apply. Whether funding is needed for transportation to a wildlife field site, purchasing materials for an interactive lesson, or attending workshops to improve teaching strategies, this program aims to make impactful wildlife education accessible.

To assist applicants in developing successful proposals, AZGFD provides detailed resources, including reports and educational materials from previously funded projects. These resources are designed to inspire educators and help them craft strong applications.

Educators interested in this opportunity can find additional information, including application details and guidelines, on the Arizona Game and Fish Department’s website. This grant program is a valuable resource for teachers seeking to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of wildlife and conservation among their students.
