McDonald's-backed grants unlock $99.1m for conservation across 100,650 US acres

McDonald's USA, along with several of its suppliers, has provided funding to the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) to support conservation efforts across the United States. On August 27, 2026, the NFWF announced $2.4 million in grants aimed at completing voluntary conservation easements on working ranches in regions such as the Great Plains, Rocky Mountain West, and West Coast. These grants are expected to leverage over $96.7 million in matching contributions, resulting in a total conservation impact of nearly $99.1 million. The initiative, part of the Grassland Resilience and Conservation Initiative, seeks to conserve more than 100,650 acres of grasslands while maintaining the economic viability of ranching operations. Over the next seven years, the program aims to invest more than $200 million to benefit grasslands, cattle ranching communities, and wildlife populations.
