Grantee Info
The Salmon Recovery Funding Board (SRFB) provides funding for elements necessary to achieve overall salmon recovery, including habitat projects and other activities that result in sustainable and measurable benefits for salmon and other fish species.
The SRFB is part of the Washington Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO), which is a small state agency that manages grant programs to create outdoor recreation opportunities, protect the best of the states wildlife habitat and farmland, and help return salmon from near extinction.
The office supports the following organizations:
Recreation and Conservation Funding Board (RCFB)
Salmon Recovery Funding Board (SRFB)
Invasive Species Council
Governor’s Salmon Recovery Office
Habitat and Recreation Lands Coordinating Group
Together, this collection of boards and offices provide leadership, funding, and technical assistance.
