The AFC Website is constantly developing new programs to fulfill its mission. Following are a list of current programs already running:
- Art for Conservation Program - Unique in concept, this program provides a venue for the sale of artwork with portion of proceeds earmarked for conservation after the artwork is sold. Artists choose the amount of their committment and a recognized conservation charity as beneficiary. A "ticker" estimating the total potential pledge amount is posted on the AFC Website.
- AFC Website - The AFC Website is the largest, most sophisticated and most visited site of its kind today and new features and initiatives are being added weekly. It features several thousand original and limited edition artworks with a collective value in the hundreds of millions of dollars.
- AFC Annual Festival - The Artists for Conservation Festival is a signature international cultural event featuring 10 days of art and environmental education, featuring the premier of AFC's annual exhibit, symposium, youth workshops, live artist demos, gallery tours and wildlife viewing, First Nations performances and film. The 2011 Festival held in Vancouver featured some of the leading nature and wildlife artists and naturalists from around the world. Featured film was "How an Artist Saved the Mountain Gorilla: Retracing the Steps of Carl Akeley." Stephen Quinn's Flag Expedition to the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda. The 2012 Festival will be help again in Vancouver from Oct 12 - 21, 2012. Visit the festival website for more information: http://festival.artistsforconservation.org/
- AFC Flag Expeditions Program - Launched in March, 2005, this ground-breaking program was created to make possible the field study and artistic rendering of endangered species or habitats deserving of greater public attention.

- The Art of Conservation - An International Exhibition of Nature in Art. AFC’s Annual Juried Exhibit – The Art of Conservation – recognizes artists for their commitment to artistic excellence and conservation, raises awareness of conservation issues, and directly supports conservation organizations through the sale of artwork.
