Auckland Zoo’s Small Grants in New Zealand

Auckland Zoo’s Small Grants in New Zealand

The Auckland Zoo Conservation Fund Small Grants Programme exists to help provide relatively small levels of funding for ongoing projects or pilot programmes with clear conservation value.

​Small grants will be awarded up to a maximum of NZD$5,000. However, in most cases, successful grants will be in the region of NZD$2,000 - $4,000. The amount applied for through the programme should represent a minimum of 25% of the project's overall budget.

Auckland Zoo is pleased to announce that the next round of the small grants programme will concentrate on innovative projects in Africa focusing on mitigating human-wildlife conflict that have tangible conservation outcomes for threatened wildlife.

Eligible projects must:

Have a clear conservation value

Be based in New Zealand or in a developing country (although applicants can be based anywhere in the world)
