Save Our Species Grants to save threatened species and their habitats

Last date : September 7, 2015

There are sizeable and sound investments for species conservation already underway but even so, the number of species currently receiving sufficient conservation attention and funding to bring them back from the brink of extinction is minimal. SOS fills a vital gap for grants that can be applied specifically to saving threatened species and their habitats.

SOS provides two types of grants:

• Threatened Species Grants (25,000 to 800,000 $US) for which calls with specific Strategic Directions are issued on a regular basis. Projects above 200,000 $US will be awarded on an exceptional basis. Special Calls for Proposals targeting specific threatened species can also be issued on an ad-hoc basis.
• Rapid Action Grants (up to 25,000 $US) available on an ongoing basis and supporting conservation actions in case of emergency situations. These grants will be awarded to support a special class of projects aimed at addressing immediate threats that require targeted specific action, with high chance of generating rapid positive results.

SOS – Save Our Species is a global partnership initiated by the three founding members IUCN, GEF and World Bank to build the biggest species conservation fund, supporting frontline species conservation projects all over the world.

Calls for proposals and other news about grant availability are announced on this page. Please carefully read all the information and the documents that are available on this page. Applications must comply with all the SOS requirements in order to be judged eligible and be reviewed.

The SOS Special Call for Proposals for the Lemurs of Madagascar is now open until 17:30 (Central European Time) on 7 September 2015.

Rapid Action Grant applications are accepted on a rolling basis.

Please note that Rapid Action Grants applications with an end date beyond 31 December 2015 cannot be currently accepted.
