The federal government makes matching grants to states and territories for the restoration and management of birds, mammals and sport fish, and for wildlife-associated public recreation. States are required to pay a 25 percent match. The source of these grants are federal taxes levied on various types of items as detailed below.

The legal authorities for such assistance are:

The Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act, also known as the Pittman-Robertson Act;

The Federal Aid in Fish Restoration Act, also known as the Dingell-Johnson Act.

These grants are an important source of revenue for all state wildlife agencies. The percentage varies by state, but on average, Pittman-Robertson grants provide 15 percent of agency revenues, and Dingell-Johnson 9 percent, according to this 2015 report.
