funding programs

grants

Conservation Resources provides direct grants to conservation organizations and local governments. We also administer several grant programs for governmental agencies and private foundations. An example of a grant program we administer is the Pinelands Conservation Fund, which has provided millions of dollars to local governments and non-profits to preserve thousands of acres in the New Jersey Pinelands. Our most successful direct grant program is the the Franklin Parker Small Grants Program, which has provided hundreds of thousands of dollars of critical funding to non-profit organizations so that they can continue to do great conservation work in New Jersey. Grants are also available for restoration projects within the Raritan Piedmont section of New Jersey. In addition, CRI provides substantial capital grants to projects featured on the Conservation Exchange through regulatory contributions. Learn more >

regulatory contributions

Conservation Resources is a unique organization which can identify exemplary land acquisition, stewardship and restoration projects to meet a wide variety of regulatory and enforcement needs. CRI staff has both technical expertise and extensive experience, and maintain strong working relationships with the diverse non-profit conservation community active here in New Jersey. This allows us to match the requirements of regulatory and enforcement matters with on-the-ground land acquisition, stewardship, or restoration projects. As a non-profit organization itself, CRI can efficiently and economically work with the conservation community to identify projects that meet the often strict geographic and technical requirements of these matters. Learn more >
