Auckland Zoo is excited to announce the next round of the Conservation Fund small grants programme will focus on enabling and growing the environmental mahi of the tamariki.
The Auckland Zoo Conservation Fund Small Grants Programme exists to help provide relatively small levels of funding for ongoing projects or pilot programmes with clear conservation value.
Funding Information
- Small grants will be awarded up to a maximum of NZD$5,000. However, in most cases, successful grants will be in the region of NZD$2,000 – $4,000.
Eligible Projects
- Eligible projects must:
- Have a clear conservation value;
- Be based in New Zealand or in a developing country (although applicants can be based anywhere in the world);
- Be aligned with the geographic or taxonomic scope of the current small grants round (if applicable). From time to time the Small Grants Programme is focussed on a particular region of the world (e.g the South Pacific) or a particular group of species (e.g. Invertebrates).
Eligibility Criteria
- Applications are invited from Aotearoa New Zealand kura/schools for on-the-ground curriculum or extra-curricular projects, growing conservation knowledge and skills among children of all age groups and demonstrating measurable positive conservation impacts for wildlife.
Ineligible Projects
- Projects based in non-developing countries (except New Zealand).
- Projects not aligned with the geographic or taxonomic focus of the current round of grants (if applicable).
- Pure research (i.e. research projects must demonstrate applied benefit to conservation and/or target an identified conservation need).
- The applicant’s attendance at a conference, seminar, workshop or meeting.
