The mission of the Canadian Wildlife Federation is to conserve and inspire the conservation of Canada’s wildlife and habitats for the use and enjoyment of all. CWF generates the funds for its granting programs through the generosity of its donors. As such, CWF issues grants with the expectation that all of the funds will be directed towards the research and conservation initiatives supported with little or no overhead costs. Any agreed upon overhead must be reasonable and justifiable and the maximum overhead is 10 per cent.
