Funding and Grants
Applications for grants are now closed for 2010.
SOSF is always excited to hear about marine conservation and environmental education projects being undertaken or planned around the world. If you have a project or an idea which falls within one of the Foundation’s priority areas for action you may be eligible for a grant to assist in the work. Applications for funds to be used during 2010 (from April 2010 to March 2011) may be submitted between August and October 2009 (deadline November 2nd 2009).
Grants may be awarded for research projects, conservation actions, public awareness initiatives or environmental education activities. A high proportion of grants are awarded for projects focussed on threatened species of sharks and rays, but those concerned with other internationally important marine species, habitats or locations, may also be supported, as may imaginative marine public awareness and environmental projects of a more general nature. Currently two classes of grant are available – standard grants of up to US$60,000 in value, and small grants of up to US$20,000 in value. Those interested should first study the Guidelines for Applicants, which include information on the size and type of project favoured by SOSF.
If you decide to apply for a grant you should then read the Instructions for Completing the Grant Application Form, and then complete the Online Apllication Form. If you have a problem completing the form on-line, or are uncertain whether your application has been received, then you may contact SOSF’s chief scientist via the e-mail contact form. All applications should normally receive an acknowledgement within 10 working days.
