Description
1) Objective
The Free Rivers Fund (FRF) supports initiatives and actions in defense of free flowing rivers. Partnering with the paddle sports industry they provide grants for activist and conservation groups that commit to the fight to protect rivers from dams and development. Free Rivers Fund aims to support those initiatives that most urgently need funding. No matter if you have been an organization for several years already or if you are just starting out with a bunch of ideas but no results to show, they are looking forward to receiving your application: If you are fighting for free flowing rivers: please apply!
They are now able to set up a fund for urgent action projects. They offer their new “Emergency Grant”. Everyone can apply for it with just an e-mail – all year round. The purpose is to help initiatives that have just formed in order to prevent a dam.

2) Eligibility
Your project must be run by a single person, a group or a newly formed organisation.
