It is our pleasure at NANFA to offer two Grant Programs, supporting Education, Conservation and Research of our Native Fishes.

The Grant Program began in 2000 as an Education and Conservation Grant, when NANFA's Board of Directors originally approved a total of $500 for the award. The Grant was then generously matched by the family members of past NANFA President Gerald C. Corcoran donated $500 to match the award, bringing the total to $1000.

In 2001, NANFA again found it within its financial means to begin an additional Grant Program, this time focusing on funding Research to aid the conservation of North America's native fishes, particularly those that are threatened or endangered.
