Research and Conservation Grants

The Purple Martin Conservation Association offers annual research grants to students, professionals and individuals engaged in Purple Martin research. Projects are supported on a one year basis as determined by the availability of funds. One or more grants will be offered annually, with support ranging from $500.00 to $2500.00, depending on the quality of the proposals received.

The Purple Martin Conservation Association’s Research and Conservation Grants are offered for the purpose of promoting and facilitating research on, and conservation of Purple Martins. However, under certain circumstances, we will consider funding projects on other species of New World swallows, especially if the species is threatened or endangered. PMCA Research and Conservation Grants are provided to defray the expenses incurred in the course of scientific research and conservation. Grants may cover travel, supplies and equipment, but shall not include salaries or overhead charges to institutions or agencies.
