Every year the Buffalo Ornithological Society funds a number of projects that contribute either to ornithological research in our region or to efforts aimed at educating people about our local birds.  In deciding how these funds are distributed, our first priority is to support studies that will make a positive impact on ornithological research.  The second priority is education of the public about ornithology.

In most cases grants are limited to $750 or less per applicant. Grant recipients must agree to report the outcome of funded efforts to the BOS.  Typically, this involves a presentation at a BOS meeting, however occasionally a written report is accepted.

The deadline for application is generally in March. Check the calendar for details. Applicants are invited to download the application form at the bottom of this page, fill it out and either scan it and e-mail it or send it to the chairperson of the special projects committee:
