Habitat protection and restoration

Submissions accepted from December 12, 2025 1:00pm to February 20, 2026 10:00pm

Applications must be submitted through the GLFT website (http://www.glft.org/). The web-based application system will prompt you with questions and instructions to guide you through the application process.

To begin, visit the Habitat Protection and Restoration page on our website, where you will find application guidance documents and other useful information to help you with the process.

Grant opportunities for which the GLFT is accepting applications can be viewed by clicking the “Browse Our Active Grant Opportunities” button, which will direct you to a page with online applications. Click on the title of the grant opportunity in which you are interested and follow the instructions to apply.

You will be required to create a user account to submit an application. You will be asked for an email address and password. If you do not know your password, click on “Forgot Your Password” and instructions to change your password will be sent to your email address.

If you do not have a user account in our system, click on “Create an Account” and follow the instructions provided. You may then proceed to the grant application.

To return to an online application you have already begun, click on the “Dashboard” button, which will appear in the upper right corner of the page after you log in. The Dashboard page will provide access to your applications and/or active projects.

If you have previously submitted a grant application to the GLFT, you may already have a user account based on your email address. If you are unable to sign up for an account using your email address, this may be because you already have an account. If you experience this problem, you may reset your password by clicking the “Forgot Your Password” link.

If you need assistance to set up your account, please contact GLFT staff.

When completing the online application:

• Remember to save your work often.
• When uploading a document, click “Save” to complete the file transfer.
• You may leave your work and return at a later time to complete the application.
• Make sure that your answers to each question are within the text field limits.
• Check each field before it is submitted.
• Be sure to answer all of the required questions.
• The system will not allow an application to be submitted if a required question is not answered.
• No changes can be made to the application once it is submitted (if an error was made, contact GLFT staff).

Applicants are encouraged to log in to the site and review the application well in advance of the submission deadline.
