PHOENIX -  Your child's school or your local park could be among those that benefit from next year's Arizona Game and Fish Department Heritage grants. Every year, the department makes hundreds of thousands of dollars available to applicants who have projects with a wildlife focus that otherwise might not receive funding. This is the time of year to apply for the money.

"We're pleased to award these grants to deserving projects every year," says Robyn Beck, the department's Heritage grant coordinator. "We want to help students, researchers, outdoor enthusiasts and ultimately all Arizonans to enjoy this funding."

The money comes from the voter-created Heritage Fund. The fund takes money from Arizona Lottery ticket sales and uses it for conservation efforts like protecting endangered species, educating our children about wildlife, helping urban residents coexist with wildlife, and creating new opportunities for outdoor recreation.

The department holds annual workshops for groups interested in applying for Heritage grants.
