Deadline: 31-Oct-24
The Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation Fund is offering grants to support species conservation work.
The Fund gives priority to those species facing a height threat of extinction (with an emphasis on Endangered and Critically Endangered species), as well as those which are listed as Data Deficient or unlisted but are suspected as highly threatened.
Generally, the Fund is primarily interested in providing support to in situ conservation work in the field (such as survey work and data gathering, direct action, recovery management, training and the like), focusing on the species in its natural habitat.
Funding Information
- The Fund maximum grant size is $25,000, and any application asking for more than this from the Fund will be rejected.
- The total budget of a project can be higher if there are other sources of funding, but the Fund will not award more than $25,000.
Eligibility Criteria
- Anyone directly involved in species conservation can apply to the Fund for a grant.
- Applications must be submitted in English.
- Budgets must be submitted in US Dollars.
- Applications with clearly incorrect conservation status and no justification will NOT be considered for funding.
- Generally, the Fund would prefer to support projects which focus on a single species, but it also recognises that in some geographic and taxonomic circumstances it makes more sense to group a number of species.
- Please note that applications for work with species which are not threatened, applications with clearly incorrect conservation status and no justification, or which ask for above the maximum grant size, will not be considered for funding.
