Funding and Grants
SOSF is always excited to hear about marine conservation and education projects being undertaken or planned around the world. If you have a project or idea that you would like to implement with the support of the Foundation, you may apply for a grant by completing the online form.
Attention! Please note that the 2008 period for acceptance of grant applications has now closed. Unless special arrangements have been made for late submission of a specific application, it is very unlikely that any new application can be considered before late 2009. Proposals will be accepted again between August and October 2009, for projects to begin in 2010.
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 study the Guidelines for Applicants, which include information on the size and type of project favoured by SOSF.
All applications should receive an acknowledgement within 10 days. 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 form.
