More Fish Grant Programs
The More Fish Campaign is a five-year initiative launched by the
National Fish and Wildlife Foundation to raise awareness and funding to
protect, conserve and enhance the nation's fish populations and their
habitat. From cutthroat trout and red snapper to small mouth bass and
Eastern brook trout to Pacific salmon, the More Fish Campaign aims to
improve aquatic habitat in rivers, lakes, reservoirs, estuaries, coastal
and marine zones.
The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation offers an array of grant
programs aimed at a variety of geographical and species-specific
goals. Grants range in size from large Keystone
Initiative grants to community-based restoration
projects. For a complete list of grant programs offered by the
National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, you can visit our Funding

Bass Pro-NFWF Conservation Grants Program
Table Rock Lake Projects
The More Fish Campaign program leverages Bass Pro funds raised
through Evenings of Conservation and other donations with the
Foundation’s federal funds and grantee matching funds. The
partnership expanded in 2006 when Bass Pro Shops made a five-year
commitment to contribute $300,000 a year towards Table Rock projects,
and an additional $200,000 a year to support management of the
Foundation’s national fish habitat conservation programs, with the
Foundation and grantees matching an additional $1 million per year to
leverage Bass Pro funds 2:1.
Since 2006, the Foundation Board approved a series of grants for
restoring habitat and water quality in Table Rock Lake and its
watershed. The grants with NFWF and Bass Pro funds were awarded to the
Missouri Department of Conservation for “Fish Habitat Improvement
in Table Rock Lake (MO) I,II and III”, and to the Arkansas Fish
and Game Commission for Table Rock Lake and Tributary Habitat
Improvement (AR) I and II. Each year, Bass Pro, NFWF and the grantees
and their partners expect to contribute $900,000 for these Table Rock
projects. For additional project specific information, contact
