About The Fund
Our Mission
To provide grants to support bird conservation, preservation and education projects and programs serving within the Driftless Area counties of southwest Wisconsin (including, but not limited to, Lafayette, Grant, Iowa, Dane, Green, Rock, Sauk, and Columbia).
How does the Lafayette County Bluebird Society Legacy Fund work?
The Lafayette County Bluebird Society Legacy Fund (LCBS) is a component of the Community Foundation. The LCBS Advisory Board is comprised of community volunteers who assist in the review of annual grant applications.
Preference will be given to projects and programs that include Lafayette County, Wisconsin as a component of the request. Grant requests from organizations that include bird conservation as their main mission will have a higher priority during grant evaluation. Please note, grants for citizen science projects and academic studies that support bird conservation may be considered.
It is recommended that applications not exceed $3,500 per request.
