About Organisation
The Yukon Fish and Wildlife Enhancement Trust is a registered charitable organisation committed to protecting and strengthening Yukon’s fish, wildlife, and natural habitats. Established under the Umbrella Final Agreement, the Trust supports initiatives that ensure healthy ecosystems for present and future generations. Its mandate focuses on conservation, habitat protection, stewardship, species recovery, and public education. By funding community-led, innovative, and science-based projects, the Trust empowers individuals, organisations, and communities to actively contribute to the long-term sustainability of Yukon’s natural environment and biodiversity.
About the Grant
The Yukon Fish and Wildlife Enhancement Trust Project Funding supports initiatives that restore, enhance, and protect fish, wildlife, and their habitats across Yukon. Grants generally support conservation, recovery, stewardship, and education-focused projects. While most applications request up to CAD 15,000, the Trust remains flexible and may consider higher funding amounts for projects with strong alignment and impact. Funding is offered through an annual call for proposals, encouraging both small community-driven initiatives and larger-scale conservation or education efforts that address emerging environmental challenges.
Who can Apply?
The funding opportunity is open to a wide range of applicants, including individuals, community groups, non-profit organisations, businesses, Renewable Resource Councils, and local communities. Applicants do not need to be registered charities to apply. Proposed projects must align with the Trust’s core focus areas, such as restoration, habitat protection, stewardship, recovery of at-risk species, or education and awareness. Projects should demonstrate clear environmental benefit to Yukon’s ecosystems and go beyond routine government responsibilities to deliver meaningful conservation outcomes.
How to Apply?
Applicants must prepare a detailed proposal outlining project objectives, conservation focus, budget, and timeline. Proposals should clearly explain how the project aligns with the Trust’s priorities and benefits Yukon’s fish, wildlife, or habitats. Completed applications must be submitted according to the Trust’s annual call guidelines within the stated timeframe. Early preparation is recommended to ensure completeness and strong alignment with funding priorities.
Application Deadline
The annual call for proposals opens in early January, with applications typically due in early March each year. Applicants should confirm the exact deadline for the current funding cycle.
