About the Grant
We are happy to announce the CALL FOR APPLICATIONS for Conservation Grants 2025 (Northeast India). This grant is for youth engaged in community-based conservation projects that are being executed at the grassroots level across the northeast region.
20 projects will be invited for a Mentoring Workshop to prepare for the final pitch. Grant amounts ranging from INR 1.5 lakhs to INR 5 lakhs will be given to 8 projects for a period of 1-1.5 years.
Community-based conservation is inclusive of work on local and regional biodiversity, sustainable livelihood, nature education, preservation or documentation of traditional knowledge and traditional crafts. We encourage projects which are focused on long term impact and community engagement.
