Description
1) Objective
Coordinated and hosted by the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation, in collaboration with the Aage V. Jensen Charity Foundation, the Hans Wilsdorf Foundation, and the Sigrid Rausing Trust, DIMFE funds field-based projects that protect and restore rivers, lakes, wetlands, marshes, peatlands, and other freshwater ecosystems. This new call comes at a time of growing urgency. According to the latest Global Wetland Outlook, wetlands provide up to USD 39 trillion in ecosystem services each year. Yet they are disappearing faster than any other ecosystem.
The Mediterranean Wetlands Outlook 3 highlights that the region is among the most severely affected globally. Over 50% of natural wetlands have already been lost, and the remaining ones are under increasing pressure from land-use change, unsustainable water withdrawals, pollution, and climate disruption. As water scarcity worsens and climate impacts intensify, wetlands are disappearing just when we need them most: to store water, regulate floods, protect coasts, and support biodiversity and communities.
In this context, DIMFE invites proposals that aim to:
- Restore and conserve freshwater ecosystems and biodiversity
- Promote the sustainable and equitable use of water resources
- Develop long-term financing mechanisms to support freshwater protection
2) Eligibility
Eligibility is limited to NGOs, local authorities, municipalities, private companies engaged in the ecological transition with less than 20 employees, scientific institutions.
3) Location
Projects must be located within the Mediterranean basin, without geographical preference.
4) Budget
Financial support ranges from €100,000 to €500,000. DIMFE’s contribution should not, in principle, exceed 75% of the resources of the total project budget. If the request for funding is more than €300,000, 25% co-financing (no contribution in kind) is mandatory. Projects must start between March and June 2024 and have a maximum duration of 3 years.
5) Application
The application file and the two completed budget tables must be sent to them on October 15, 2025 at the following email address: dimfe@fpa2.org.
