 Important notification! <\/strong>PBNF has an updated Privacy Policy as to January 3rd 2020<\/strong>. Please check our privacy policy page<\/a> for more information.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n

When can I apply?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The next application deadline is on 1 February 2021<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

You can hand in your application year-round, but after this deadline you will not be able to submit or modify your project proposal. Results will be in around June.<\/p>\n

 <\/div>\n

How big are the grants?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our grants do not exceed US$ 20.000 or \u20ac 20.000.<\/p>\n

 <\/div>\n

Am I eligible?<\/strong><\/p>\n

To check your eligibility, please take note of the following main criteria:<\/strong><\/p>\n

(1)<\/strong> The PBNF does not<\/em> support individuals, only registered non-profits. Applying organisations should have an organisational bank account as PBNF cannot transfer grants to individual accounts.<\/p>\n

(2)<\/strong> The PBNF aims to help save critically endangered flora and fauna. The urgency of your conservation case is directly related to the priority your project will receive. Therefore, always verify the conservation status of your focus species on the IUCN Red List. As a general rule of thumb, it can be said that you are eligible with a focus species that is at least classified as Vulnerable (VU), and receive a higher priority when the species is classified as Endangered (EN) or Critically Endangered (CR). If the focus species is Near Threatened (NT) or Least Concern (LC) you should not apply, or in case of doubt send an inquiry before applying.<\/p>\n

(3)<\/strong> Due to the small grant size, the PBNF prefers to support projects in developing countries, with a special focus on the tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, Asia and Latin America. If you are from a developed country you may still apply, but you will receive a lower priority and therefore have a lower chance for your project to be acknowledged.<\/p>\n

(4)<\/strong> The PBNF always wants to see an applied component of the project. If your project is purely research-based, you are only eligible if you can make clear how your research results will lead to impact on the ground.<\/p>\n

(5)<\/strong> Due to the limited nature of our funding, the Fund prefers to act as a catalyzer of larger initiatives, and link its project support as much as possible to larger themes and organizations.<\/p>\n

(6)<\/strong> The PBNF favours smaller grassroots organisations over bigger international organisations.<\/p>\n

(7)<\/strong> Other criteria include: Stakeholder involvement and local embedding of the project; An innovative approach; (Economic) sustainability of the project; Local capacity building. Having some co-funding secured is appreciated but not a must.<\/p>\n

(8)<\/strong> The PBNF does not<\/em> support projects that address too general or global threats such as climate change, deforestation, malnutrition, poverty etc. Also general development programs that for example aim to improve the quality of life in rural villages through economic or agricultural development are not<\/em> eligible.<\/p>\n

 <\/div>\n
