The Prince Bernhard Nature Fund aims to help save critically endangered flora and fauna in the tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, Asia and Latin America. Preferably, our funding goes to organizations from these regions, sometimes in partnership with parties in Europe or North America.Due to the limited nature of our funding (our grants do not exceed 25,000 Euro), 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.
The application deadline is 01 September 2015.
