Applications Invited for Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation Fund for Species Conservation
Organization: Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation Fund.
Event Duration: 19 Feb. 2019 - 28 Feb. 2019
Apply By: 28 Feb 2019
About the Organization
The Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation Fund is a significant philanthropic endowment established to provide targeted grants to individual species conservation initiatives, recognize leaders in the field of species conservation and elevate the importance of species in the broader conservation debate. To date the fund has awarded over 1600 grants to a diverse range of species across the world.
About the Grant
The Fund has been established to provide targeted grants to individual species conservation initiatives, recognize leaders in the field and elevate the importance of species in the broader conservation debate. Its focus is global and eligibility for grants will extend to all plant, animal and fungi species conservation efforts, without discrimination on the basis of region or selected species. However, it is very competitive indeed with only around 9% of applicants in 2016 receiving a grant.
Criteria
The Fund intends to be as flexible and accommodating as possible when reviewing applications, and to take into account as many different factors as is reasonable when assessing the merit of a suggested project. To support this and to try to streamline the application process, the review process is kept comparatively simple.
However, the Fund does receive many more applications for support than grants could possibly be provided, so please find below some criteria and guidelines which would be useful to bear in mind when submitting an application.
Language: Applications must be submitted in English.
Currency: Budgets must be submitted in US Dollars.
Maximum Grant: 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.
Conservation status: The Fund was established to support species conservation work, and so if your project is not about an endangered species it is probably not worth your while submitting an application
For applications submitted before the end of 28th February, 2019, applicants should receive a reply towards the end of April 2019.
Grants will be awarded based on their ability to meet criteria pre-determined by the Species Fund, and are for maximum of $25,000 for each project.
There are three grant rounds per year, and generally applications received before the end of February will receive a reply at the end of April or early May. The next submission deadline will be the last day of June, (and applicants will receive a reply in September). The final round of grants in a given year usually has a deadline of the end of October, with applicants receiving a repsonse in late December of the same year or early January of the following year.
For any questions regarding the application, or to be added to the Fund's contact database, please use the "Contact Us" details provided, or send an email to enquiries@mbzfund.org or Nheard@mbzfund.org
