River Otter Alliance Grant Awards

The River Otter Alliance will fund grants up to $1,000 each in the areas of otter-related research, education, reintroduction, rehabilitation, and habitat protection, thanks to donations received from the Rocky Mountain Ark Wildlife Rehabilitation Center and an anonymous donor.  Proposals should state the purpose of the project, objectives, tactics, scientific methodology, follow up, and how the results will be utilized to benefit otters.  The grant is for a period of one year and will require a written report of the findings at the end of that period, with the possibility of publishing the report or a summary of the results in the River Otter Journal newsletter.  Proposals will be reviewed by a research committee which will include wildlife professionals who specialize in otters and will be awarded by the River Otter Alliance Board of Directors.  Grant proposals will be judged by their rationale, significance, scientific merit, benefit to the species, and the probability of the research funded by the grant being successfully completed within a one-year time period.  

The deadline for proposals is 01 July of each year.  Inquiries are always welcome. Please direct inquiries and grant proposals to:
