The Rufford Foundation

Type of project: Nature conservation projects with a focus on threatened species.
Location: Developing countries. A full list is available here.
Eligibility: Early-career conservationists and smaller organizations, including NGOs, in developing countries may apply.
Grant size: Grants range from £7,000 to £18,000. We understand that organisations may need to charge management fees to cover indirect costs (overheads). Given the nature and size of the grants, we prefer all funds to be directed towards conservation activities, but we may accept a management fee/overhead of up to 10% of the overall value of the grant.
