Grants

It is the goal of the Protect Wild Dolphins Alliance to provide funding from each state specialty license plate to those authorized organizations who serve on the front lines to rescue, educate, conserve and Protect Marine Wildlife.

The formula is simple, the more specialty plates we have, the more funding can be awarded.  

We’ve strived to keep the application process simple, and transparent as possible. 

Please note, funding from each plate can only be used in that State.   

If you wish to submit a small grants request, please follow the instructions to submit an application for the state you intend to work in.

Note: PWDA is unable to accept grant requests that include any Indirect Costs (IDC).
