Grants for International Projects

I often get asked about funding for projects outside of the USA. Since my focus has been conservation projects within the United States, I haven't done much research on funding sources beyond my own country. That being said, here are a few of the international programs I've come across. Don't forget to try Foundation Center. A significant number of philanthropy organizations in the USA also fund international projects.

TIP: Partnership development is critical in obtaining a grant for an international project. Find a partner and be a partner.
