Deadline: 05-Apr-2024
The Table Mountain Fund is calling for concept proposals that align with at least one of the fund’s four Programmes – Fynbos Forever, Care, Prosperity and Pride.
Projects must be based within the Cape Floristic Region; aligned to the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework; and address high priority conservation needs.
The Table Mountain Fund is a capital conservation trust fund that was established in 1998 with funds from local and international sources. Launched by Sir Edmund Hillary, the fund has to-date invested approximately R100 million into over 350 conservation projects that protect and restore the Cape Floral Region.
TMF will aim to select at least one science-action research project each year which supports the TMF Conservation Strategy. This call for proposals therefore invites knowledge institutions and societal parties to form consortia for the development of scientific and practice-oriented research. The consortia should have a knowledge-chain-wide composition. Knowledge-chain-wide implies that proposals connect fundamental, applied and practice-oriented research and that connection is sought with the knowledge needs of societal parties.
Funding Information
- The Table Mountain Fund offers a maximum grant of R250 000 per annum, for a maximum period of three years, i.e. R750 000 in total per project (this could include the administration of a small grant facility which sub-grants); or
- A small grant of up to R100 000 for a period not exceeding one year.
Who can apply?
- Registered organisations in good standing and with a specific interest in undertaking conservation action or research in the Cape Floristic Region are encouraged to apply. Under exceptional circumstances, organisations not yet registered as NPOs may be considered.
