We only get one planet Earth. Despite this immutable fact, there are many environmental threats today that threaten our environment, the animals within it, our climate and our very quality of life. There are many nonprofits that operate within the environmental space, working to promote preservation and stewardship.

These nonprofits are only able to do their essential work due to the funding provided by generous environmental grants. These grants are used for a wide range of different projects - these can include diverse initiatives such as conducting environmental impact studies, conservation projects and leading public awareness campaigns. Specific grants for animals could be also used to fund animal shelters or veterinary clinics.

Environmental grants are provided by a wide range of donors. These can sometimes include federation agencies such as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, or the EPA. There are also many private foundations that specialize in these kinds of grants, such as the ASPCA and the Wildlife Conservation Society. Many local ecoregions will also have their own community foundations dedicated to protecting the local wildlife and environs.

When preparing an environmental grant or animal grant, it's important to focus on the most essential data. You need to prove that there is a serious need for support in your area of choice. Data that you might need to collect could include statistics on habitat loss, pollution rates, or wildlife population decline. If dealing with pet animals, you may also want to look into data collected from local animal shelters on abandoned animals, or those who need to be put down. This data can be collected from sources both national and local - starting in places like EPA reports, state wildlife agencies and academic research papers.
