WHO: Local non-profit organisations working towards environmental conservation are highly recommended to apply for grants. Associations, clubs, social cooperatives and other local community based organisations are encouraged to apply for grants.
The applicants must display strong effective leadership and emphasise on integrated bottom up approaches, by consulting with, mobilizing and involving local communities in a manner that demonstrates positive community impact.
WHAT: Applications for funding from the LEF should fit into one or more of the LEF’s Areas of Impact as well as the LEF’s ‘preferred types of grants’.
The proposed project should be clear and compelling with a clear conservation outcome that is measurable and sustainable with long-term results in mind. Projects should aim to build local capacity and increase community engagement and participation.
Ideally, the proposed activities should be sufficiently visible to leverage additional support from other funding sources.
WHERE: The LEF encourages the implementation of project in different regions of the island. Projects with opportunities for replicability and collaboration with local communities will be prioritised.
Applications for funding will be accepted on a rolling basis. Decisions will be made at Steering Committee meetings which are held 4 times per year. Prior to applying for funding, please contact us!
All applicants need to complete and submit our application form. However, prior to applying, please contact us to see if your project is viable for funding. If your application for funding is approved by the LEF, partners will need to sign a Grant Agreement with specific terms of the collaboration. Please access our application form below.
