About Organisation

Dierenpark Amersfoort, a renowned zoo in the Netherlands, is dedicated to wildlife conservation, education, and species preservation. The zoo actively participates in various global initiatives to protect endangered species and their habitats.

Dierenpark Amersfoort Wildlife Fund is an extension of this commitment, providing financial aid to projects that align with their mission. The fund is driven by donations and supports global conservation efforts. Through its initiatives, it fosters collaboration between local communities, NGOs, and academic institutions, ensuring the success of conservation projects and promoting long-term sustainability. The zoo’s involvement in these efforts is aimed at creating a better future for endangered species and the ecosystems they inhabit.

About the Grant

The Dierenpark Amersfoort Wildlife Fund Grant is designed to support global conservation projects that focus on endangered species and habitat preservation. The fund provides financial support to initiatives that contribute to the protection of wildlife, research in veterinary medicine, reforestation, and animal shelter projects. Applicants must demonstrate how their project will directly impact the conservation of endangered species, ensuring long-term sustainability. Successful applications are those that show community involvement, local educational efforts, and collaboration with NGOs or universities. Past supported projects have included educational outreach programs, wildlife protection efforts, and reforestation initiatives. The goal is to make nature conservation concrete and measurable, such as planting trees or reaching specific numbers of children with education programs. Projects are evaluated based on their clarity, community involvement, and feasibility, with the aim of fostering real and lasting change. The grant seeks to contribute to projects that focus on long-term planning, with an emphasis on continuity and scalability. Given the dependence on donations, the fund aims to support as many worthwhile projects as possible, but the number of projects funded may vary based on available resources.
