Habitat Acquisition Grants
Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation (HCTF)
Grant
British Columbia, Canada
Each spring, HCTF accepts grant applications from land trust organizations looking to purchase properties to protect important habitat for BC’s fish and wildlife. Proposed acquisitions are evaluated on criteria such as species richness, connectivity, conservation planning priority, habitats, and impending threats to these values. Financial factors such as partnership funding, stability of the proponent organization, cost per hectare and level of community support are also carefully considered. Because acquisitions are funded with licence surcharge money, properties that also include public fishing and hunting opportunities are generally given priority consideration.

The next opportunity to apply for an acquisition grant will be spring of 2021. We will be launching a new online application process soon. The overall content will remain relatively consistent from recent years with a new simplified and easy-to-use application structure. Our new cloud-based system will provide significant improvements by streamlining workflow and adding automated services to increase convenience for applicants. We are very excited to integrate this new system to save everyone time and add more clarity and functionality to our application processes.
Please note that the guidelines and sample documents provided below will not be an exact reflection of the application form within our new online system. However, these resources are still very useful reference documents that outline what information will be required when filling out your application. We will post updated worksheets once they are ready; please check back here.
Please review our 2020-21 Habitat Acquisition Proposal Guidelines if you are interested in submitting a proposal.
