Conservation Technology Support Program
The Conservation Technology Support Program (CTSP) awards grants of equipment
and software to build GIS capacity to tax-exempt, non-profit organizations pursuing
conservation objectives in the United States. GIS grants are made annually to
approximately 50 organizations that can demonstrate: a strong commitment to
conservation objectives; compelling reasons to use GIS in achieving those objectives;
and the organizational capacity (budget and people) to use GIS effectively over a
long period of time. Applications are usually due in January.
