About the Organization

The Elephant Managers Association (EMA) is an international, 501(c)(6) nonprofit organization of professional elephant keepers, administrators, veterinarians, researchers, and enthusiasts.

Our Mission

The EMA is dedicated to the welfare and survival of the world's elephants through improving communication, husbandry, research, education, and conservation.

About the Grant

The 2023 EMA Small Grant Program will focus on field-based elephant conservation projects in Africa and Asia. The EMA Board of Directors will award two grants for $1,500 each. This opportunity is open to anyone including keepers, conservationists, and researchers. While all proposals that further the mission of EMA will be accepted, higher priority will be given to proposals that: provide education and community outreach, provide capacity-building in local communities, and/or improve captive elephant management and welfare.

Furthermore, the following funding and impact statements will be considered in prioritizing the proposals:

• EMA funding will support a new or unique project, or seed money for a new part of an existing project.
• Outcomes of the project can be transferred to other situations (wild and/or captive elephants) impacting a large number of elephants, people, projects, etc.
