Grants

Each year, the Whitley Wildlife Conservation Trust awards a number of grants to individuals who are either undertaking nature conservation research or who are taking part in some kind of educational experience relating to a conservation project. The Trust awards grants to both UK and overseas projects, and generally prefers to award a larger number of smaller grants (under £1,000) rather than fewer large grants. Generally, the Trustees favour applications from students or younger people who are embarking on a research project or educational experience and do not have access to sufficient funds.

Applications are considered biannually (in May and November) at a meeting of the Awards Committee and all applicants are subsequently advised on the outcome of their application whether they have been successful or not.
