Conservation Fund Grant Program
The Conservation Fund Grant Program offers grants to non-profit organizations and local
governmental units for the purchase of land or land interests identified in the
Dane County Parks & Open Space Plan
or for lands in buffer areas immediately adjacent to park lands. Recognizing the power
of partnerships in leveraging County dollars and accelerating the purchase of properties,
this program earmarks up to 20% of the Dane County Conservation Fund for these grants.
Grant Application Deadlines
There is no application deadline. Applications are accepted throughout the year and can be submitted within 6 months after the property is purchased.
