About the Organization

Founded in 2011, the Amphibian Survival Alliance (ASA) has grown into a global network of partners committed to a sustainable future for amphibians. Our alliance is fueled by a collective dedication to coordinated conservation action, which we actively promote and facilitate through an ever-expanding, engaged, and collaborative partnership worldwide.

About the Grant

The Amphibian Survival Alliance’s Targeted Amphibian Research and Action Program program is designed to provide financial support for research projects addressing critical conservation needs identified in key studies such as the 2023 State of the World’s Amphibians (SOTWA) and the 2023 Amphibian Conservation Action Plan Status Review Draft (ACAP). This program has been made possible thanks to the generous support of Synchronicity Earth’s Amphibian Endowment Fund.

The maximum grant amount available per project is USD 8,333.00. Ensure that your budget details in your project proposal match the amount requested.

Grant applications must address at least one of the following three core areas:

• Conduct and support comprehensive research to understand and mitigate the negative impacts of amphibian trade.
• Direct conservation efforts towards the most critically endangered amphibian genera and landscapes (TALs), particularly those highlighted as priorities in SOTWA.
• Align with and act upon the ACAP recommendations by funding projects that implement these strategies and address the identified conservation needs.

One project per core area will be selected to receive funding.
