Deadline: 30 September 2018
Applications are open for the Auckland Zoo Conservation Fund Small Grants Programme which exists to help provide relatively small levels of funding for ongoing projects or pilot programmes with clear conservation value.
Auckland Zoo is a not-for-profit organisation that is part of Regional Facilities Auckland (an Auckland Council-controlled organisation) and a global network of zoos, who are focused on conserving the world’s wildlife and wild places.
Types of Project
Project applications will score more highly during the selection process if they:
- Are likely to have a direct conservation impact
- Are collaborative and involve a local conservation organisation
- Are logistically feasible, and fiscally and scientifically sound
- Include an assessment of how well the project achieved its conservation objectives
Funding Information
- Grants of up to NZD $5000 are available. However, in most cases, successful grants will be between NZD $2000 and NZD $4000.
- The application must represent a minimum of 25% of the project’s overall budget (excluding in-kind support). This means that the maximum budget a project applying for a Category 3 grant can be is NZD $20,000.
Eligibility Criteria
Eligible projects must:
- Have a clear conservation value
- Be based in New Zealand or in a developing country (although applicants can be based anywhere in the world)
How to Apply
Applicants must apply via downloading the application form given on the website.
