Funded Projects

The Sonoran Joint Venture supports bird conservation in several different ways. One of our primary methods of support is our annual Awards Program. Since 2001, the SJV has provided more than $1.3 million dollars in funds through this competitive program to over thirty organizations from the U.S. and Mexico.

The SJV also provides discretionary funds that are used to support partners involved in ongoing projects identified as top priorities for the SJV, including monitoring and surveys of bird populations, and education and outreach projects and opportunities.
