Deadline: 01-Oct-21
The Sarah K. DeCoizart Perpetual Charitable Trust is seeking applications for its Grant Program to support Species conservation and blindness-related services and research.
Funding Interests
- Species Conservation: The Trust may support a range of projects dealing with wildlife and species conservation, including the protection of ecologically important areas with a specific species impact. While broader environmental conservation requests may be considered, competitive applications should focus on the impact on particular endangered or at-risk species.
- Blindness: Grants in the area of blindness and vision impairments include a broad range of services and research. Service-related grants may include expansion of existing services, implementation of new efforts and improvements of infrastructure to facilitate services. No grants will be considered to substitute lost government funding. Priority will be given to programs serving the Northeast United States. Research grants will primarily be considered through disease associations or other intermediaries with re-granting programs guided by scientific advisory committees. Preference will be given to efforts that support emerging research talent, innovative treatment or early detection studies.
