About the Grant

To support the advancement of animal biology research, habitat monitoring and environmental conservation, Wildlife Acoustics is proud to offer a grant program that provides scientists with products and software to help further their research into the study of bats, birds, frogs and other vocal wildlife.

We know times have been tough. We are so grateful to our customers for supporting our business these past few years and we want to give back.

We’re happy to announce that we’re increasing the value that we are giving away per quarter through our grant program, from $5,000 to $12,000 per quarter. We hope this allows us to support more critical bioacoustics research projects around the world.

Every quarter, Wildlife Acoustics will give away up to $12,000 worth of eligible products to grant recipients worldwide. Applicants may each request up to $4000 worth of products and software licenses. Recipients also have the opportunity to have their work featured on our website and social media channels.
