Grants of up to $50,000 to USA, Canada, and International individuals for projects addressing the effects of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) health crisis. Funding may be used for research, technology, and conservation projects. Applicants must propose activities taking place in their country of residence.

Proposed projects should seek to better understand and/or provide solutions to the situations created or magnified by the pandemic, thereby helping to understand and address the challenges and changes of living in a COVID-19 world.
This fund invites research, conservation, and technology projects on the following two (2) topics; below are examples of the types of questions and projects that the Society would like to receive:
Community-based and inclusive conservation.
