Call for Proposals: 2026-27 NEW Species Conservation Program

Ontario is now accepting applications for the 2026-27 Species Conservation Program, as part of our ongoing commitment to help conserve species at risk and their habitats.

 

The new Species Conservation Program promotes strong environmental stewardship by providing funding for projects that help conserve Ontario’s species at risk, led by individuals, communities and organizations across the province.

Applications must be submitted electronically through Transfer Payment Ontario (TPON) by 3:00pm (EST) on Thursday November 27, 2025.

 

All applicants are required to create a My Ontario Account to register and access TPON. Please follow the steps outlined at Ontario.ca/GetFunding. We recommend completing these registration steps as soon as possible, as it may take up to 5 business days to be granted access.

 

Once you are registered and have logged on to TPON, you can access the 2026-27 Species Conservation Program Application Form (and supporting materials) to complete and submit your project application.
