Grant Programs

The Bella Vista Bluebird Society (BVBBS) has two grant programs – our annual student grant, started in 2021; and a nest box grant, started in 2023. Both programs benefit Eastern Bluebirds.

Student Grant:

We plan to award a cash student grant each year as long as funds are available. The decision on whether to award a grant, as well as the amount of the grant, will be made by the board on an annual basis. The grant for 2025 was posted on March 10, 2025 and the amount is $2,000.

Nest Box Grant:

A group awarded a BVBBS nest box grant must include establishing and/or enhancing nest box trails on land within the state of Arkansas (outside of Bella Vista). The BVBBS will send 3 nest boxes and educational materials to get a group started.
