About the Organization

The International Elephant Foundation (IEF) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation of individuals and institutions dedicated to the conservation of African and Asian Elephants worldwide.

In 1998, frustrated by the lack of funding available for elephant conservation and research efforts, Michael Fouraker, Executive Director of the Fort Worth Zoo, envisioned an elephant foundation that would provide funds and expertise to worthy projects. As a board member of the very successful International Rhino Foundation (IRF), Michael believed that the organizational structure and business plan of IRF could be used as a template for multiple elephant holding facilities with diverse missions to come together for a shared common goal of contributing to the long-term preservation of elephants.

About the Grant

The International Elephant Foundation’s Elephant Conservation and Research Funding Support Program is now open for Application Submissions.

On average IEF funds  20 to 25 projects annually.  The average Grant Award is $15,000 per year.

IEF is interested in supporting effective, sustainable conservation projects that will make a positive impact for elephants, habitats and the communities that share their land. The application must show that the project goals, methods and intervention are perceived to be or known to be functionally effective, ethically and culturally appropriate, feasible, and the relevant stakeholders are included in the project development and activities.  IEF will not fund activities or interventions that have been proven to be ineffective.  Therefore make sure you research the methods you are proposing to see what has already been tried and how it has been tried.
