About this grant
The Yellowstone to Yukon program is one of the regional programs of the Wilburforce Foundation, which works to preserve the irreplaceable biological diversity and ecological integrity of western North America. The Foundation focuses on connecting wildlands, wildlife and people, and on protecting the lands, waters and wildlife that depend on them. It invests in science-based solutions, advocates for responsible policies, and strengthens grantees' capacities to achieve lasting outcomes. The Foundation describes its approach as making sustained investments in partners over time and building their capacity to achieve higher levels of effectiveness. It supports a diversity of organizations and collaborative efforts throughout its priority regions, and uses conservation science to identify priority regions that correspond with its focus on wildlands and habitat connections that allow wildlife to thrive. The page lists program areas including Conservation Science, Conservation Law and Policy, and Capacity Building Grants, alongside a Conservation Leadership Awards and Wilburforce Leaders in Conservation Science. The Alaska and British Columbia program, which is a separate regional program, covers Arctic, Tongass, Great Bear Rainforest, transboundary watersheds and BC's Central Interior, with a goal of landscape-scale connectivity and climate resilience.
