- Connection to federal, state and conservative organizations funding options for habitat.

WHY Habitat One
Our goal and only focus is to create additional wildlife habitat primarily with private landowners. Current habitat funding sources, in most cases, do not meet or exceed the landowners ability to make money on their ground (based on current practices of growing grain, hay or utilizing pasture). Our organization will focus on providing the landowner a value equation that is close to equal or greater than their current practices utilizing state and federal, conservation organization and Habitat One funding.
HOW We Grow
We grow through people like you! We are a grassroots charity so we depend on introductions to other landowners from the landowners we have helped. This is a very important aspect as we are primarily “word of mouth”. We need your assistance in our introductions!
HOW We Are Funded
We are a very simple funding model… private funding. We do not do banquets, raffles, or beg the government for money, we are simply seeking donations from conservation minded corporations and individuals that feel that what we are doing makes sense and their money is being spent wisely. Our grass roots strategy depends on recommendations and introductions from people with the same vision as well as people that have benefited from Habitat One efforts. Pending 501c3 charity 2025.
