Information for Applicants Applying for Foundation Grants
The Foundation has made major
reforms in its grant-making policies to further focus in learning
together with our grantees and our partners about the conservation
results associated with our investments. To help applicants
learn more about the new tools (including logic
frameworks) and terminology, view Applicant
Assistance.
The Grants Library
As part of the movement for open
standards and results-based performance in conservation, the Foundation
is developing a conservation library to help interested parties better
understand different aspects of the Foundation’s past
grants. Visit the Grants
Library for more information.
The Environmental Evaluators Network
Individuals in the fields of natural
resource conservation and environmental management increasingly need to
demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of projects and programs,
particularly in terms of environmental outcomes. The purpose of the
Environmental Evaluators network is to improve the field of
environmental evaluation by fostering partnerships where we can share
knowledge on innovative approaches and learn more systematically from
our collective experiences. The Network is comprised of
environmental, conservation, and natural resource evaluators and
evaluation consumers. Individuals from academia, consulting
organizations, foundations, government agencies, and non-profit
organizations are all welcome to participate. The membership
is international. Please visit the Environmental
Evaluators Network.
