Conserving Birds. Protecting Tomorrow.
AFA supports conservation, research, habitat restoration, and educational outreach projects that help protect avian species in the wild and in human care.
Supporting Meaningful Conservation Efforts
AFA Conservation Grants support projects that advance avian conservation through field research, habitat restoration, responsible aviculture, education, and scientific collaboration. By supporting both in-situ and human-care initiatives, AFA helps promote a sustainable future for bird species around the world.
What AFA Conservation Grants Support

Projects supporting species preservation, habitat protection, field research, or breeding programs.

Why Conservation Grants Matter
Many avian conservation efforts operate with limited resources despite having significant impact on endangered species, education, and long-term sustainability. AFA Conservation Grants help provide funding for projects that advance avian welfare, conservation science, and responsible stewardship.
