The Rufford Foundation – Grant funding for nature conservation programmes and pilot projects for MSc or PhD students

The Rufford Small Grants Programme enables us to identify and fund conservationists at the very start of their careers when they often do not have the track record required by other donors. Our open and flexible approach is attractive to applicants and our funding criteria are kept intentionally broad.

General Criteria:

  • Projects MUST have a nature conservation focus.
  • MSc or PhD at the early stages of their conservation careers
  • Grants are designed to support small-scale or pilot projects
  • There are no restrictions on projects focusing on threatened habitats.
