Applications are now open for the Jane Robeyst Trust Fund (JRTF) Small Conservation Grant

This grant focuses on projects that prioritize nature conservation and the protection of species. Eligible projects must have a clear conservation value and be based in a country in sub-Saharan Africa. Preference will go to projects in relation to elephants.

Education projects will also be considered. 

Travel costs for presentation of the project at a conference, or participation in a workshop/training program will also be considered. 

Purchase of field equipment can be funded alongside the project if they are essential in completing field work. 

The JRTF aims to provide relatively small levels of funding of 1500 Euros for ongoing projects or pilot programmes with a clear conservation value. This funding program is open to individuals or organizations for projects in Sub-Saharan Africa. The Fund accepts projects related to the conservation of mammals and especially (forest) elephants.
