Shell Marine Habitat Program - Alaska
Local, state, and federal government; non-profit organizations; private firms; and educational institutions.
The Shell Marine Habitat Program is a partnership between the Shell Oil Company and the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF). The purpose of this partnership is to provide grants for projects that benefit marine and coastal habitats in and around the Gulf of Mexico, as well as the North Aleutian Basin, North Slope Borough, and Northwest Arctic Borough areas of Alaska.
Grant awards require a minimum 1:1 match of cash or contributed goods and services (in-kind) and a match of over 2:1 is encouraged.
Grant funds cannot be used for political advocacy, fundraising, lobbying or litigation activities or to support projects resulting from legally mandated mitigation projects. The Foundation cannot provide funds for general administrative overhead or indirect expenses. If you are uncertain about categories of budget items which may or may not be funded, please contact Suzanne Sessine.
