It's a lot of money that would be going towards a worthy cause and you can be a part of helping to make it happen.
Nature Saskatchewan is one of five organizations to have been selected to compete for a portion of a $100,000 grant in the Jamieson 'Call for the Wild!' national donation program. If successful, the funding will be used for the Stewards of Saskatchewan programs for the conservation of endangered and threatened prairie species, such as the Burrowing Owl, and their habitats.
Nature Saskatchewan, the only organization from Saskatchewan represented in this competition, is up against four other projects from across Canada. It will rely on voter support in order to secure a portion of the funding, which will be determined by the proportion of total votes that Nature Saskatchewan receives. Nature Saskatchewan is a non-profit organization, and as such must secure funding from outside sources in order to run its programs, including the Stewards of Saskatchewan. Thus, this grant represents an important opportunity to obtain funding.
The public can cast online votes for the project until September 16 but only one vote per person is allowed each day.
Details about the grant competition and voting can be found at facebook.com/jamiesonvitamins. Details about Nature Saskatchewan and the Stewards of Saskatchewan projects can be found at www.naturesask.ca.
The Stewards of Saskatchewan are a suite of Nature Saskatchewan voluntary stewardship programs funded through the Saskatchewan Ministry of the Environment's Fish and Wildlife Development Fund, SaskPower, TD Friends of the Environment Foundation, ELSA Canada, SaskTel, US Fish and Wildlife Service's Neotropical Migratory Bird Conservation Act Program, Mountain Equipment Co-op and Shell.
Nature Saskatchewan is a charitable conservation and cultural organization of naturalists dedicated to protecting and promoting nature, its diversity, and the processes that sustain it. Our supporters include over 1,000 individual members and 14 local naturalist groups. Our vision is "Humanity in Harmony with Nature".
Nature Saskatchewan receives funding from Saskatchewan Lotteries.
