Grants for marine environment. SOSF makes grants worldwide for research, conservation, and/or education to protect the marine environment. Projects should integrate at least two of these components and focus on charismatic marine mega fauna — particularly sharks, rays, and skates.
Most grant recipients are nonprofit conservation organizations that have programs or projects related to marine environment, fisheries, and related themes.
APPLICATION: The SOSF makes grants in two categories:
- Small Grants of less than US$10 thousand; and
- Keystone Grants ranging from US$10 thousand to US$100 thousand.
Each type of grant has a specific purpose and application process. The emergency funds are available on a continuous basis. The small grants have an annual cycle, and the keystone grants and photography grants operate biennially.
