About the Grant

The Conservation, Food, and Health Foundation is offering grants to support initiatives that contribute to environmental protection, improved food production, and public health development. These grants are available to organizations based in or working with local partners in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Latin America, and the Middle East.

Conservation grants aim to promote biodiversity preservation, mitigate climate change effects, and strengthen local conservation organizations. Food security grants focus on sustainable agriculture, farmer training, pest control, and indigenous food systems. Health grants support projects related to reproductive health, mental health, environmental health, and nutrition.

The foundation funds applied research, pilot projects, and technical training programs that generate impactful, locally driven solutions. It supports initiatives that develop leadership in conservation, agriculture, and public health while addressing challenges faced by communities. Preference is given to projects that explore innovative solutions to underfunded issues and underserved regions. The funding is not intended for ongoing program support but rather for new initiatives, research, and capacity-building efforts.

Grants typically range between $25,000 and $50,000 per year. The foundation values projects that demonstrate long-term sustainability, effective partnerships, and the potential to scale.
