Endangered Landscapes & Seascapes Programme
Grants for large-scale projects to restore biodiversity-rich terrestrial and marine habitats across Europe.
Grant programmes
You can apply for funding through our grant programmes
Our grant programmes help us to support effective local work around the world, where we believe our funding can make the greatest difference.
Each programme has a defined theme and is run by a partner organization with specialist knowledge in that area. Our programmes invite applications for funding. Independent expert panels assess applications and make grant decisions. Our partners manage and support the grants.
We also work with other foundations on collaborative funding initiatives.
