Funded by the province's hunters and anglers, the Grant Eligible Conservation Fund annually supports a variety of projects both small and large which benefit Alberta's wildlife and fish populations, as well as the habitat they depend on. This year (2009-2010) just under one million dollars have been allocated to 68 projects for conservation work in Alberta. Since 2002, the Grant Eligible Conservation Fund has received 907 applications, of which 492 have been funded. For every dollar granted, an estimated $6.30 is leveraged in partner dollars. Including this eighth funding cycle, a total of $8.5 million has been granted through the GECF, leveraging an estimated $53.7 million in conservation projects across the province.
