Elephant Conservation & Research Funding Support Program

IEF is interested in supporting effective, sustainable conservation projects that will make a positive impact for elephants, habitats and the communities that share their land. The application must show that the project goals, methods and intervention are perceived to be or known to be functionally effective, ethically and culturally appropriate, feasible, and the relevant stakeholders are included in the project development and activities. IEF will not fund activities or interventions that have been proven to be ineffective. Therefore make sure you research the methods you are proposing to see what has already been tried and how it has been tried.

General Information and Instructions

To help guide you through the online application we have created a copy of the application in a Word.doc file.

We STRONGLY SUGGEST you use this Word.doc file to prepare your draft answers for copying/pasting into the form versus typing into the online form as it is quite lengthy.
