funding information
Rand 3 million over 3 years, dependent on the cost of producing the proposed solution.
What They Look For?
When they consider proposed projects, they look at the following:
- Is the proposed project catalytic and can it be scaled up to national level?
- Will it contribute to achieving the identified environmental outcomes?
- Do people believe in the value proposition?
- Is it valuable, unique, innovative and transferable Can/will the project be adopted by others?
- Will it be a valuable addition to the project portfolio?

- conduit organizations that are not the end users of the project funds;
- Initiatives that focus on ex-situ (off-site) conservation activities with little implications for wild populations, eg captive breeding, rehabilitation or welfare of individuals;
- Purely academic research not linked to trust projects or with little evidence of practical application;
