Description
1) Objective
The Whitley Fund for Nature (WFN) is a UK registered charity offering Whitley Awards and ongoing support to outstanding nature conservationists around the developing world. The fund aims to:
- (1) find and fund the most effective grassroots conservation leaders in developing countries;
- (2) support the scale-up of projects with a track record of success, founded on scientific evidence and community involvement;
- (3) fund practical work that will have a long-lasting impact on the ground;
- (4) provide a platform for winners to boost their national and international profile;
- and (5) work with winners to improve awareness of the serious problems facing biodiversity worldwide and address them through effective and inspiring solutions.
2) Eligibility
The Whitley Award is given to an individual. Eligible are grassroots conservationists who are embedded in and/or from the communities where they work. Applicants should work for or lead locally incorporated NGOs in the Global South, rather than be in-country staff employed by NGOs headquartered in the Global North.
3) Location
Wildlife conservation projects must be based in countries that are not defined as a High Income Economy by the World Bank. Exceptions to this criterion include Equatorial Guinea and certain island nations in the Caribbean.
4) Budget
Whitley Awards are worth £50,000 GBP in project funding over one year.
5) Application
Applications for the 2025 Whitley Awards are currently open and close at midnight GMT on 31 October 2024. They are done online.
